MAJOR  GEORGE  TOWNSEND  ADEE. 

Commanded  2nd  Battalion,  311th  Infantry,  78th  Division,  at  Camp  Dix,  N.  J.,  and  in  France 
in  the  St.  Mihiel  operations  and  the  Argonne  Forest  advance. 


PREFACE 

In  preparing  this  book,  the  officers  of  the  United  States  Lawn  Tennis 
Association  have  been  mindful  of  the  fact  that  memory  is  short,  and 
that,  in  the  press  of  current  events,  those  of  great  importance,  at  the 
time  they  happen,  grow  hazy  and  indistinct  as  they  recede  into  the  past. 
Furthermore,  in  the  case  of  an  organization  like  this  Association,  with 
its  hundreds  of  member  Clubs  scattered  throughout  the  country,  it  be- 
comes increasingly  difficult  to  present  a  picture  of  its  activities  as  a 
whole,  unless  this  be  done  by  someone  who  has  a  general  knowledge  of 
tennis  throughout  the  United  States. 

This  idea  first  took  form  in  the  mind  of  Edwin  F.  Torrey,  whose 
years  of  experience  as  Secretary  of  the  National  Association  gave  him 
a  particularly  comprehensive  understanding  of  the  general  situation. 
When  it  was  presented  to  the  annual  meeting  of  1919,  his  suggestion 
that  a  permanent  record  be  made  of  the  service  rendered  by  tennis  dur- 
ing the  war,  won  immediate  approval.  Accordingly,  the  Association's 
office  undertook  to  compile  the  data  which  would  preserve  for  the  future 
the  salient  facts  in  connection  with  the  sport,  under  war-time  conditions 
that  had  no  precedent. 

In  presenting  this  record,  therefore,  the  Association  has  been  moved 
by  a  sense  of  duty,  an  obligation  which  it  felt  was  owed  to  the  game. 
There  is  no  intention  to  magnify  the  part  that  tennis  took  in  the  war, 
for  the  tennis  public  would  be  the  first  to  resent  any  insinuation  that 
they  had  done  more  than  their  share.  The  record,  however,  is  honorable, 
and  is  one  which  in  years  to  come  may  remind  those  who  enjoy  the 
sport,  that  it  had  the  vitality  and  inherent  worth  to  meet  the  demands 
of  a  great  emergency. 

It  shows  that  during  times  of  stress  and  uncertainty  the  tennis 
clubs  and  players  of  the  United  States  had  only  the  desire  to  serve 
their  country.  That  this  was  the  feeling  of  all  citizens,  goes  without 
saying.  Obviously,  however,  what  the  members  of  the  Association  did 
during  the  war  is  of  particular  interest  to  followers  of  the  game  and 
this  book  has  been  written  to  give  them  a  detailed  story  of  the  events 
with  which  their  friends  were  directly  concerned.  It  does  not  pretend 
to  be  a  history  of  the  war,  nor  does  it  tell  all  that  the  tennis  players 
accomplished.  It  is  as  complete  and  accurate  as  the  Association  could 
make  it,  and  is  presented  in  the  belief  that  it  will  be  an  inspiration  to 
all  those  of  coming  generations  who  may  be  identified  with  lawn  tennis.

CHAPTER  I 
ATHLETICS  IN  WAR  TIME 

Influence  of  athletics  in  training  for  war — Development  of  sports  in 
Great  Britain  and  United  States — College  athletes  make  prompt 
response  to  call  for  men — Tennis  players  active  in  the  war — Asso- 
ciation placed  at  Government's  disposal  for  war  work. 

War  has  often  been  called  a  game.  While  it  would  be  futile  to  argue 
that  any  such  tremendous  struggle  as  that  in  which  the  United  States 
joined  during  1917  is  a  game  in  its  literal  sense,  there  is,  perhaps,  some 
significance  in  this  use  of  the  word.  Certainly  the  call  to  arms  met  no- 
where a  more  immediate  response  than  among  the  followers  of  athletic 
sports,  which  are,  after  all,  merely  games,  highly  developed  and  spe- 
cialized. 

In  the  populations  of  Great  Britain  and  the  United  States  is  a  larger 
number  of  those  who  are  familiar  with  some  form  of  athletics  than  in  any 
other  countries  in  the  world.  The  Englishman's  devotion  to  cricket,  box- 
ing and  similar  sports  has  long  been  traditional,  and  much  of  the  gritty 
perseverance  of  the  race  goes  back  to  the  characteristics  developed  by 
these  contests.  Certainly  the  English  boy  who  learns  to  play  hard,  to  take 
the  bumps  and  bruises  as  part  of  the  game  and  to  be  a  good  sport  whether 
he  wins  or  loses,  merely  for  the  sake  of  a  school  or  club,  is  not  likely  to 
be  a  "quitter"  when  his  country  calls  for  men. 

WThat  is  true  of  Great  Britain  is  also  true  of  the  United  States,  to  a 
greater  degree.  The  development  of  baseball,  football,  track  athletics, 
tennis,  golf  and  similar  sports  in  this  country,  has  won  for  the  United 
States  a  unique  position  among  the  nations.  Ours  is  known  as  an  out- 
door people  and  every  year  strengthens  that  tendency  toward  increased 
activity  in  the  open  air.  While  the  trend  toward  specialization  in  sports 
has  been  criticized  by  those  who  believe  that  over-emphasis  takes  the  fun 
out  of  the  games,  the  fact  remains  that  even  under  these  conditions  they 
continue  to  increase  their  popularity.  Any  doubter  can  read  the  proof 
On  the  sporting  pages  of  his  daily  paper.  It  follows  as  a  matter  of  course 
that  the  hardy  instincts  have  not  been  dormant  in  the  youth  of  the 
United  States,  but  during  the  years  of  peace  have  found  expression  in 
the  sports  which  require  of  their  successful  participants  skill,  strength, 
daring,  and  the  will  to  win. 

Quite  naturally,  therefore,  the  declaration  of  war  by  the  United 
States  found  its  most  immediate  response  among  the  young  Americans 
who  were  interested  in  sports.  College  football  teams  enlisted  almost 
en  masse;  not  only  that,  there  was  such  a  general  exodus  from  the  col- 
leges as  to  threaten  seriously  the  successful  conduct  of  the  war  if  it 


IXITED   STATES   LAWN    TEXXIS   ASSOCIATIOXT 
"'l"::'kKD  THE  WORLD  WAR 

should  prove  to  be  long.  While  the  colleges  furnished  one  of  the  most 
spectacular  examples  of  the  instant  response,  in  fairness  to  other  groups, 
the  obvious  comment  can  be  made  that  in  college  could  be  found  the 
largest  numbers  of  those  within  the  military  age.  Men  ten  years  out 
of  college,  with  families  and  other  responsibilities,  had  to  think  twice 
before  enlisting,  no  matter  how  keen  they  might  have  been  to  "get  into 
the  game." 

There  was  no  disposition,  however,  on  the  part  of  the  undergraduates  to 
monopolize  attention  over  all  others;  from  all  parts  of  the  country, 
and  from  all  classes  of  its  population,  the  recruits  came  by  thousands. 
In  the  officers'  training  camps,  and  in  the  divisional  cantonments,  it 
was  significant  that  the  men  who  had  been  in  athletics  made  good  sol- 
diers. They  took  discipline  readily  and  knew  the  value  of  training — 
the  main  requisites  of  military  life.  More  than  one  competent  observer 
is  prepared  to  state  his  belief  that  the  national  aptitude  in  sport  was 
one  of  the  prime  factors  in  assembling  a  formidable  fighting  force  with 
a  celerity  which  was  the  wonder  of  the  world. 

Any  attempt  to  classify  the  sports  to  show  that  one  made  a  better 
record  than  another  would  be  very  difficult  and  lead  to  gratuitous  in- 
justice. There  is  no  doubt  that  all  did  their  share,  and  in  that  con- 
nection, followers  of  tennis  have  no  reason  to  feel  ashamed.  Even  a 
year  after  the  signing  of  the  armistice  it  has  been  impossible  to  record 
all  the  tennis  players  who  had  a  part  in  the  Great  War.  They  would 
be  the  last  to  seek  such  a  record.  Their  own  conviction  that  they  did 
their  best  is  sufficient. 

It  is  not  in  an  attempt  to  glorify  the  individuals  therefore,  but  merely 
to  show  what  happened,  that  the  names  of  the  men  who  were  first  on 
the  ranking  list  in  1917,  are  mentioned.  Of  the  first  ten  that  year, 
Ichiya  Kumagae,  a  Japanese,  met  the  obligations  of  his  citizenship. 
Richard  N.  Williams,  2d,  was  commissioned  a  lieutenant  in  artillery 
and  later  became  a  captain.  William  M.  Johnston  was  an  ensign  in  the 
navy.  George  M.  Church  was  a  captain  in  aviation.  R.  Lindley  Mur- 
ray was  a  chemist  whose  duties  in  producing  explosives  were  so  impor- 
tant that  he  had  to  remain  a  civilian.  Clarence  J.  Griffin  was  a  lieu- 
tenant in  artillery,  transferring  later  to  aviation.  Watson  M.  Wash- 
burn was  a  captain  in  artillery.  Willis  E.  Davis  was  a  lieutenant  in 
aviation.  Joseph  J.  Armstrong  was  an  ensign  and  Dean  Mathey  was  a 
lieutenant  in  artillery. 

This  showing  was  typical  of  tennis  players  of  lesser  prominence  who 
make  up  the  vast  majority  of  its  devotees.  The  real  importance  of  a 
sport  is  hardly  to  be  measured  by  the  number  who  find  their  names  in 


ATHLETICS  IN  WAR  TIME 


the  headlines.  Of  the  million  tennis  players  in  the  United  States,  only 
one  in  ten  thousand  is  likely  ever  to  see  his  name  on  the  ranking  list. 
Consequently  in  estimating  the  part  that  tennis  had  in  the  war,  this 
great  company  of  "unknowns"  must  never  be  forgotten.  They  make  the 
game  great  in  peace,  and  in  war  they  gave  it  an  Honor  Roll  that  will 
long  be  a  shining  mark  in  the  history  of  the  sport. 

In  a  sense  never  before  realized,  this  was  a  war  of  nations,  not  of 
armies.  Therefore  any  record  which  recited  only  the  deeds  of  those  in 
uniform  would  be  fragmentary  and  unjust.  It  is  impossible  to  set 
down  everything  that  was  done  during  the  war  by  those  who  talk  tennis 
in  their  happier  hours  of  recreation,  but  some  idea  of  the  scope  of  their 
activities  may  be  had  from  a  mere  outline. 

Before  the  beginning  of  hostilities  the  delegates  at  the  annual  meet- 
ing of  the  United  States  Lawn  Tennis  Association  placed  their  organiza- 
tion at  the  disposal  of  the  Government.  Its  ability  to  render  service 
depended  upon  the  thousands  of  individuals  connected  with  its  member- 
clubs  and  their  service,  which  in  turn  radiated  in  so  many  directions 
through  their  home  communities  that  no  single  part  could  be  fairly  set 
off  with  the  label  "Tennis  did  this." 

The  office  of  the  Association,  however,  possessed  an  immediate  value 
which  was  utilized  in  recruiting  campaigns  for  the  army  in  general,  for 
the  Ordnance  Department,  in  raising  money  for  the  Red  Cross,  in  help- 
ing to  sell  Liberty  Bonds,  in  helping  to  organize  the  Four  Minute  Men, 
and  in  putting  into  effect  the  plans  of  the  War  Department  Commis- 
sion on  Training  Camp  Activities.  These  are  only  some  of  the  more 
important  tasks  with  which  it  was  engaged  during  1917  and  1918. 

Such  aspects  of  this  work  as  had  national  application  were  passed  on 
to  the  clubs  and  through  them  to  their  members,  so  that  it  is  fair  to 
say  its  influence  was  far-reaching.  Without  the  clubs'  and  their  mem- 
bers' cordial  co-operation,  for  example,  the  Association  would  have  been 
unable  to  conduct  the  campaign  to  finance  and  man  two  ambulance  sec- 
tions— one  of  the  notable  achievements  in  the  annals  of  the  sport. 
In  everything  that  it  undertook  the  aim  was  always  to  conform  to  the 
wishes  of  the  Government,  and  nothing  that  could  possibly  conflict  with 
those  plans  was  attempted.  Consequently  the  Association  enjoyed,  to  a 
remarkable  degree,  the  confidence  of  those  with  whom  it  was  thrown 
into  official  contact. 

As  a  result  of  these  efforts  and  others  of  a  similar  nature  Which 
were  being  put  forth  everywhere  in  the  United  States,  tennis  became 
something  of  a  sideline,  and  working  for  the  Government  was  the  main 
activity  in  many  clubs.    A  group  of  women  in  New  York  started  a  series 


UNITED   STATES   LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

of  tournaments  on  the  "endless  chain"  plan  to  raise  money  for  the  Red 
Cross.  Some  clubs  organized  chapters  of  the  Red  Cross  and  others 
turned  over  their  clubhouses  for  the  work  of  that  organization.  Some 
members  went  to  farming ;  others  became  heads  of  draft  boards,  or  chair- 
men of  Liberty  Loan  organizations.  Wherever  there  was  a  job  to  do, 
one  was  likely  to  find  some  follower  of  the  game,  and  if  the  sum  total 
of  their  efforts  could  be  reduced  to  figures,  it  would  be  impressive. 

While  it  is  impossible  to  summarize  in  definite  terms  their  widespread 
and  diverse  activities,  it  is  not  an  overstatement  to  say  that  the  clubs 
and  individuals  connected  with  the  United  States  Lawn  Tennis  Asso- 
ciation contributed  in  substantial  degree  toward  winning  the  war.  To 
give  future  generations  some  idea  of  what  a  sport  could  do  in  such  try- 
ing times,  this  record  is  published. 

In  compiling  the  book,  the  Association  has  not  been  moved  by  any 
spirit  of  self-praise,  but  by  a  desire,  in  fairness  to  its  members,  to  accord 
honor  where  honor  is  due.  It  has  undertaken  the  task  as  a  part  of  its 
obligation  to  the  game.  Because  their  positions  put  them  in  touch  with 
tennis  affairs  throughout  the  country,  its  officers  were  enabled  to  esti- 
mate more  clearly  than  others,  the  real  part  the  tennis  public  played  in 
the  activities  of  a  nation  at  war.  Essentially,  therefore,  this  book  is  an 
attempt  to  give  permanent  form  to  an  honorable  record,  and  as  such  it 
should  be  its  own  justification. 


CHAPTER  II 

ASSOCIATION'S  ACTIVITIES  DURING  THE  WAR 

Association  helps  recruit  Neto  York  State  Militia  to  war  strength — Field 
Secretary  assists  organization  of  "Four  Minute  Mem" — Aids  cam- 
paign to  secure  civilian  employees  for  the  Government — Service  ren- 
dered the  Commission  on  Training  Camp  Activities. 

While  the  activities  of  the  United  States  Lawn  Tennis  Association  had 
to  do  mainly  with  the  conduct  of  the  game  during  1917  and  1918,  there 
was  much  work  directly  related  to  the  war  in  which  the  organization 
could  assist.  In  voting  to  place  its  resources  at  the  disposal  of  the  Gov- 
ernment, the  most  practical  offering  was  that  which  made  its  office  im- 
mediately available  for  war  service. 

The  first  effort  of  this  sort  was  undertaken  at  the  request  of  General 
Charles  H.  Sherrill  who  sought  its  support  in  the  attempt  to  recruit  the 
National  Guard  of  the  State  of  New  York  to  war  strength.  This  activ- 
ity was  conducted  through  committees  representing  various  trades  or 
other  professional  or  business  groups.  One  composed  of  college  men 
managed  a  recruiting  booth  in  the  Grand  Central  Terminal,  New  York 
City,  for  several  weeks,  a  large  number  of  recruits  being  secured.  The 
direction  of  this  committee's  work  was  in  the  hands  of  the  President, 
George  T.  Adee,  and  the  Field  Secretary,  Paul  B.  Williams. 

Early  in  1917  the  Field  Secretary  also  undertook  another  "war  job" 
in  helping  to  organize  the  Four  Minute  Men  in  New  York  City  and  State. 
This  was  a  group  of  volunteer  spokesmen  for  the  Government,  who  talked 
in  motion  picture  theatres,  under  direction  of  the  Committee  on  Public 
Information.  The  idea  came  from  Donald  M.  Ryerson  of  Chicago,  who 
started  it  so  successfully  there,  that  it  became  one  of  the  most  important 
of  the  Government's  wartime  activities,  some  40,000  speakers  being  en- 
rolled when  the  Armistice  was  signed. 

The  Field  Secretary  devoted  half  of  his  time  to  organizing  the  Four 
Minute  Men  in  cities  throughout  the  State  and  by  Fall  this  had  reached 
the  point  where  it  could  be  carried  on  without  his  assistance.  Conform- 
ing to  the  Association's  policy  of  devoting  all  possible  effort  to  war  work, 
he  then  joined  the  staff  of  the  National  Civil  Service  Reform  League,  on 
a  part-time  basis,  to  help  recruit  thousands  of  employees  needed  in  the 
federal  departments  at  Washington. 

For  months  there  had  been  an  increasing  shortage  of  civilian  em- 
ployees. The  enormous  expansion  of  the  various  branches  of  the  War 
Department,  to  say  nothing  of  such  emergency  developments  as  the  Food 
Administration,  the  Fuel  Administration,  the  Shipping  Board,  etc.,  cre- 
ated a  demand  for  thousands  of  men  and  women.    At  one  time  the  short- 


UNITED   STATES   LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

age  of  stenographers  alone  was  put  at  5,000,  while  the  number  of  cleri- 
cal and  other  employees  needed  often  was  set  as  high  as  50,000. 

During  the  winter  of  1917-1918  most  attention  was  devoted  to  secur- 
ing stenographers,  clerks,  draftsmen,  accountants  and  all  sorts  of  tech- 
nical men,  for  the  Ordnance  Department.  Much  red  tape  had  to  be  un- 
wound before  the  League  could  make  headway,  but  its  knowledge  of  the 
governmental  routine  proved  invaluable  and  by  spring  a  marked  improve- 
ment was  noted.  More  than  8,000  stenographers  were  examined  in  New 
York  and  while  the  official  responsibility  for  this  activity  rested  with  the 
local  representatives  of  the  Civil  Service  Commission,  the  League  worked 
with  them  and  was  accorded  due  credit  for  its  part  in  the  successful  ef- 
fort to  fill  the  vacancies  which  were  delaying  much  official  business  at 
Washington. 

In  the  spring  of  1918  the  restoration  of  championships  made  it  neces- 
sary for  the  Field  Secretary  to  devote  more  time  to  the  work  of  the  tennis 
office,  making  the  schedule  and  then  seeing  that  it  was  carried  out.  The 
activity  was  more  general  than  had  been  anticipated  and  even  under  ad- 
verse circumstances  the  season  was  reasonably  successful.  Measured  by 
the  standard  of  play,  size  of  galleries  or  receipts  from  tournaments  in 
normal  years,  it  was  not  a  distinguished  success,  but  in  its  more  funda- 
mental aspects  it  justified  all  the  attention  it  received. 

By  keeping  the  older  players  and  youngsters  interested,  the  Association 
was  following  a  policy  which  maintained  the  sport  on  a  sound  basis.  Con- 
sequently when  the  restrictions  of  war  were  removed,  the  game  "came 
back"  with  a  resiliency  that  surprised  even  its  most  devoted  followers. 
Furthermore,  in  managing  or  playing  in  tournaments,  the  "stay-at- 
homes"  felt,  quite  properly,  they  were  making  some  tangible  contribu- 
tion to  the  welfare  of  men  in  the  service,  for  the  proceeds  of  all  events 
were  used  to  buy  athletic  supplies  for  the  soldiers. 

Through  the  Commission  on  Training  Camp  Activities  a  large  amount 
of  tennis  equipment  went  into  the  camps  here  and  abroad,  so  it  is  safe 
to  say,  men  in  uniform  played  tennis  under  circumstances  that  may 
never  be  duplicated.  Through  its  relation  to  the  Commission,  the  Asso- 
ciation was  able  to  secure  the  entry  for  the  championship  of  many  play- 
ers whose  military  status  might  otherwise  have  prevented  their  appear- 
ance. As  it  was,  the  Commission  had  them  granted  leave  to  play  and  the 
fact  that  this  was  possible  of  achievement,  shows  the  approving  attitude 
the  Government  had  adopted  toward  sport. 

When  the  championship  ended  the  Commission  asked  to  have  the  Field 
Secretary  "loaned"  to  its  Washington  office.  Dr.  Norman  B.  Tooker,  who 
had  been  buying  athletic  equipment  for  the  army,  had  been  detailed   to 


ASSOCIATION'S  ACTIVITIES   DURING  THE   WAR 

important  work  with  the  newly  organized  Student  Army  Training  Corps. 
The  Field  Secretary,  therefore,  went  to  Washington  as  an  assistant  to 
Dr.  Joseph  E.  Raycroft,  head  of  the  Athletic  Division,  and  had  charge  of 
the  contracts  for  athletic  material  when  the  Armistice  was  signed.  De- 
tails related  to  closing  these  contracts  kept  him  there  most  of  the  time 
until  the  spring  of  1919. 

Such  a  resume"  as  the  foregoing  can  do  little  more  than  suggest  the  vari- 
ety of  the  governmental  demands  made  upon  all  civilians  and  the  ready 
adaptability  with  which  everyone  responded.  Many  lovely  June  evenings, 
for  instance,  were  devoted  to  a  study  of  a  street  map  of  New  York  on 
which  were  stuck  red  pins  representing  the  hundreds  of  "movie"  houses 
in  New  York,  and  the  other  pins,  one  for  each  Four  Minute  Man.  Brook- 
lyn proved  a  trial  of  patience  for  its  street  system  (?)  and  street  car 
routes  seemed  to  be  a  maze  never  to  be  understood  by  anyone  born  out- 
side the  borough.  Endless  work  of  this  sort  had  to  be  done  so  that  speak- 
ers could  be  assigned  to  theatres  near  their  homes,  for  after  a  few  hec- 
tic mornings  when  speakers  from  Brooklyn  told  of  their  troubles  in  try- 
ing to  find  their  Bronx  assignments,  it  was  clear  that  running  even  a 
speakers'  bureau  was  no  simple  task. 

Other  recollections  flash  and  fade  like  the  swift  scenes  of  a  "movie." 
It  was  hard  to  persuade  eloquent  lawyers  and  others  somewhat  inclined 
to  "spell-bind"  that  four  minutes  included  only  240  seconds.  They 
thought  the  name — Four  Minute  Men — was  merely  a  bright  idea .  and 
that  a  speaker  was  free  to  go  as  he  pleased,  or  until  his  hearers  objected. 
Then  there  were  gentlemen  who  wanted  to  tell  how  -Secretary  Baker 
should  run  the  war,  others  who  had  wonderful  songs  to  sell,  or  badges,  or 
plans  for  raising  money  and,  of  course,  the  objections  to  be  removed  from 
the  minds  of  some  theatre  managers  who  were  not  in  favor  of  this  speak- 
ing anyhow,  but  who  hesitated  to  take  an  out  and  out  position  against 
the  Government. 

The  memories  of  recruiting  for  ordnance  are  even  more  varied.  Hun- 
dreds of  stenographers,  each  of  whom  wanted  to  help  win  the  war,  but 
preferred  to  stay  in  New  York  rather  than  go  to  crowded  Washington 
where  the  work  had  to  be  done;  the  difficulty  of  convincing  officialdom 
that  the  first  requisite  for  securing  workers  was  to  provide  them  with  a 
place  to  live ;  a  wind-swept  stretch  of  Jersey  meadow  that  on  a  zero  day 
bore  little  resemblance  to  a  great  ordnance  depot  it  was  destined  to  be- 
come; the  troubles  of  applicants  who  failed  to  see  why  they  should  fill 
out  an  application  blank,  two  yards  long,  containing  a  hundred  ques- 
tions more  or  less,  when  they  were  ready  to  go  to  work  for  the  Govern- 
ment right  away ;  the  endless  explanations  that  had  to  be  given  these 
same  applicants  during  the  weeks  that  these  forms  were  being  canvassed

in  Washington,: — all  these  perplexities  would  have  been  more  exasperat- 
ing had  not  everyone  realized  that  officials  were  doing  the  best  they  could. 

Then  came  the  task  of  distributing  half  a  million  dollars'  worth  of 
athletic  supplies  so  that  the  cantonments  would  have  enough  bats  and 
balls  to  take  care  of  whole  divisions,  and  still  not  leave  the  little  posts 
along  the  Mexican  border  unsupplied.  Few  persons  realize  the  detail 
involved  in  this  phase  of  the  Commission's  activity.  There  were  no 
specifications  for  athletic  equipment  when  it  undertook  the  tremendous 
task  of  providing  supplies  for  three  million  men.  It  takes  seven  square 
feet  of  horsehide  to  cover  a  dozen  baseballs,  for  instance;  180  feet  of 
sheepskin  for  a  dozen  sets  of  boxing  gloves,  30  feet  of  cowhide  for  a  dozen 
rugby  footballs  and  so  on.  From  these  figures  can  be  gained  an  idea  of 
the  immense  quantities  of  material  required  when  armies  were  being 
outfitted. 

The  "company  box"  which  provided  equipment  for  use  the  year  round, 
contained  four  baseball  bats,  twelve  baseballs,  chest  protector,  mask, 
catcher's  mitt,  first  baseman's  mitt,  four  association  footballs  with  extra 
bladders  and  laces,  two  rugby  footballs  with  bladders  and  laces,  a  pump 
and  patching  outfit,  six  playground  balls  and  two  indoor  baseball  bats, 
medicine  ball,  ten  sets  of  boxing  gloves,  two  volley  balls,  basket  ball  and 
rules  for  several  games.  The  first  order  was  for  300  of  these  boxes.  The 
next  for  1,800  and  the  third,  3,000  boxes.  Even  these  quantities  did 
not  meet  the  soldiers'  needs  and  many  organizations  interested  in  sport 
raised  money  for  equipment,  much  of  it  being  distributed  through  the 
Commission. 

When  the  manufacturers  began  to  make  the  goods  called  for  in  these 
contracts  they  ran  foul  of  the  Hide  and  Leather  Control  Board  and 
similar  agencies  set  up  to  regulate  the  distribution  of  raw  material. 
Recognizing  the  importance  of  bats  and  balls  and  boxing  gloves  in  train- 
ing recruits,  the  Government  authorized  the  release  of  necessary  supplies, 
so  that  the  Commission  was  the  clearing  house  for  these  orders  in  Novem- 
ber of  1918  and  if  the  war  had  continued,  practically  no  goods  of  this 
kind  could  have  been  produced  without  its  O.  K. 

In  the  face  of  such  overwhelming  demand  the  Association  could  play 
only  a  minor  part,  in  providing  equipment.  It  was  of  material  assis- 
tance to  the  Commission,  however,  in  establishing  its  program  and  help- 
ing to  win  for  that  program  the  popular  and  official  support  essential 
for  its  success.  That  this  contribution  was  appreciated  at  Washington 
was  made  plain  in  a  letter  to  Julian  S.  Myrick,  from  Dr.  Raycroft, 
reading : 


UNITED   STATES   LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORDD  WAR 

"Since  the  Armistice  has  been  signed  and  the  process  of  demobilizing  our 
armies  is  progressing  so  rapidly,  we  have  an  opportunity  to  look  back  over 
the  work  of  the  past  twenty  months  and  to  estimate  its  value. 

"The  program  which  this  Commission  has  developed  and  put  into  opera- 
tion, both  inside  and  outside  of  the  camps,  represents  a  new  and  very  radical 
departure  from  the  previously  accepted  methods  of  raising  and  training 
armies.  The  provisions  which  have  been  made  for  facilities  and  encourage- 
ments to  the  soldiers  to  spend  their  leisure  time  in  wholesome  ways,  instead 
of  condemning  them  to  monotonous  living  or  unwholesome  amusements, 
have  proved  to  be  wonderfully  effective  in  developing  and  maintaining  a  high 
morale  among  our  troops,  together  with  a  physical  efficiency  and  a  spirit 
of  'pep'  and  readiness  which  have  made  our  armies  remarkable  among  the 
armies  with  whom  they  have  fought  on  the  other  side. 

"One  of  the  important  factors  in  bringing  about  this  result  was  the  develop- 
ment of  physical  training,  and  athletic  activities  as  a  part  of  the  formal 
training,  and  the  provision  and  encouragement  given  the  men  to  participate 
in  wholesome  forms  of  athletic  games  and  contests  during  their  leisure  time. 

"The  Government  during  the  latter  months  of  the  war  supported  this 
work  with  very  generous  appropriations.  In  the  beginning,  however,  we 
were  forced  to  appeal  to  men  like  yourself  to  come  to  the  assistance  of  the 
Commission  with  money  raised  in  various  ways,  and  from  various  sources,  for 
the  purchase  of  athletic  equipment  to  make  it  possible  to  carry  out  the  pro- 
gram in  the  camps  which  the  Commission  had  planned.  Your  assistance 
in  this  work  had  a  double  value.  We  used  your  money  and  we  were  very 
greatly  encouraged  by  your  backing  and  support. 

"I  have  felt  that  it  was  due  myself,  no  less  than  to  you  and  the  organiza- 
tion which  you  represent,  that  I  should  at  this  time  write  you  some  simple 
words  of  appreciation  of  the  support  and  encouragement  which  you  have 
given  the  Commission  in  its  efforts  to  surmount  some  of  the  difficulties 
which  confronted  it  during  the  early  days  of  its  activities.  In  this  matter 
I  am  speaking  officially  for  the  Commission,  as  well  as  for  myself." 

Sufficient  time  has  elapsed  to  permit  an  estimate  of  the  worth  of  such 
activities  as  those  conducted  by  the  National  Association — in  wartime. 
Under  the  stress  and  excitement  of  organizing  a,  nation  for  war,  details 
may  be  magnified  and  sense  of  proportion  lost.  It  now  becomes  in- 
creasingly apparent  that  even  in  war  there  is  a  place  for  athletics  and, 
therefore,  a  duty  resting  upon  those  guiding  such  bodies  as  the  United 
States  Lawn  Tennis  Association.  The  first  impulse  to  discard  every- 
thing that  was  not  essentially  military  later  gave  way  to  a  realization 
that,  after  all,  only  a  part  of  America's  hundred  million  people  could  be 
in  uniform.  The  others  had  to  support  the  army  and  navy  by  co-operating 
to  make  them  efficient  fighting  forces.  Munitions,  provisions  and  sup- 
plies of  every  sort  had  to  be  turned  out  in  unprecedented  quantities. 
This  volume  entailed  sacrifice  of  those  things  not  essential  to  the  conduct 
of  war,  but  it  soon  was  proven  that  sport  could  not  be  classified  as 
"non-essential." 

10 


ASSOCIATION'S  ACTIVITIES   DURING  THE   WAR 

In  the  army  itself  there  was  no  question  as  to  the  value  of  physical 
(raining.  Though  not  commonly  regarded  hitherto  as  a  strenuous  sport, 
tennis  took  its  place  with  the  other  games  that  helped  to  build  up  the 
fighting  men.  What  was  not  so  immediately  apparent  was  that  sport 
could  serve  the  great  public  which  must  stay  at  home.  By  realizing  this 
early  in  the  war  and  helping  to  bring  about  that  understanding  through- 
out the  country,  the  Association  made  a  contribution  that  was  in  many 
respects  unique. 

Neither  its  officers  nor  its  members  were  disposed  at  any  time,  to  place 
undue  importance  upon  the  influence  of  tennis.  If  the  game  interfered 
with  a  more  pressing  activity,  the  decision  always  was  to  "Give  up 
tennis."  Conferences  with  the  War  Department  were  held  frequently 
to  make  certain  that  the  Association's  plans  conformed  in  every  respect 
to  the  Government's  policy,  for  in  placing  the  organization  at  the  Govern- 
ment's disposal  the  idea  had  been  to  make  it  an  effective  agency  in  what- 
ever capacity  it  could  be  utilized. 

Apparent  contradictions  thus  explain  themselves.  In  1917  it  was  a 
logical  act  to  eliminate  championships  and  ranking.  By  1918  the  condi- 
tions which  made  this  the  proper  course  to  follow,  had  disappeared,  so 
that  is  was  then  wise  to  restore  these  traditional  features  of  the  tennis 
season.  The  game's  progress  since  the  war  has  shown,  furthermore,  that 
these  decisions  not  only  were  sound  at  the  times  when  made,  but  that 
they  have  been  justified  by  later  events. 

.  There  has  been  no  undertaking  in  tennis,  more  helpful  to  the  game  as 
a  whole,  than  the  money-raising  trip  of  famous  players,  in  behalf  of  the 
ambulance  fund,  to  cite  only  one  illustration.  As  in  this  case,  so  in 
others.  The  sight  of  a  national  organization,  utilizing  the  common  inter- 
est of  its  members  in  a  sport,  not  only  to  further  worthy  causes,  but  to 
establish  a  sane  outlook  and  a  sense  of  poise,  in  a  crisis,  was  reassuring. 
The  Association  did  not  by  any  means  attempt  to  do  "Business  as  usual." 
But  it  did  not  rush  to  the  other  extreme.  Its  members  came  to  realize 
that  the  extra  demands  of  war  meant  that  they  should  take  additional 
precautions  to  preserve  their  own  efficiency,  and  as  a  means  to  that  end, 
tennis  found  its  use. 

The  game  did  not  pass  through  the  war  unscathed.  Many  a  club  put 
gold  stars  on  its  service  flag.  Enlistments,  increased  cost  of  living, 
taxes  on  dues  and  pressure  of  other  activities  doubtless  removed  thous- 
ands of  names  from  the  rosters  of  the  member-clubs,  and  in  turn,  many 
of  these  clubs  were  obliged  to  resign  their  membership  in  the  National 
Association.  The  schedule  of  sanctioned  tournaments  did  not  reach  its 
pre-war  proportions  until  two  years  after  the  Armistice.  These  things 
were  inevitable.  That  they  were  not  more  serious  is  ample  justification 
of  the  Association's  policy  in  1917  and  1918.

Association  suspends  cliampion ships  in  1911  with  approval  of  War  De- 
partment— Helps  establish  policy  with  reference  to  sports  conform- 
ing to  judgment  of  the    Government — Maintains   competition   for 
juniors,  boys  and  tJwse  not  in  military  service. 
Hindsight  is  concededly  better  than  foresight  but  if  the  delegates  at- 
tending the  annual  meeting  of  the  United  States  Lawn  Tennis  Associa- 
tion in  New  York  City,  February  9,  1917,  had  been  able  to  forecast  com- 
ing events,  they  could  hardly  have  taken  wiser  action   than  when   they 
passed  the  following  resolution : 

"Whereas,  our  country  is  facing  grave  international  difficulties,  and 

"Whereas,  we,  the  assembled  delegates  of  the  United  States  Lawn  Tennis 
Association,  represent  directly  or  indirectly  more  than  a  million  tennis  players 
throughout  the  United  States, 

"Be  It  Resolved,  That  we  hereby  heartily  endorse  the  action  of  President 
Wilson  in  severing  diplomatic  relations  with  the  German  Empire;  that  we 
pledge  to  the  President  and  the  Congress  of  the  United  States  our  utmost 
support  in  whatever  further  steps  they  deem  necessary  to  maintain  American 
rights  against  lawless  aggression,  and  that  to  that  end  we  place  the  services 
of  the  Association  and  the  national  organization  absolutely  at  their  disposal. 

"Be  It  Resolved,  That  the  Secretary  be  directed  to  transmit  a  copy  of  this 
resolution  to  the  President  and  Congress." 

In  order  to  appreciate  their  state  of  mind  at  the  time  one  must  recall 
that  the  season  of  1916  had  been  unusually  successful.  Notable  events, 
new  records  and  increased  general  interest  in  the  game  helped  to  mark 
that  season  as  the  beginning  of  a  new  era  in  the  popular  development  of 
tennis.  Furthermore,  the  outlook  for  1917  was  still  more  favorable.  The 
growing  number  of  applications  for  sanctioned  tournaments — to  cite  only 
one  illustration — was  a  definite  sign  of  the  increasing  activity  through- 
out the  country.  This  is  partly  explained  by  the  fact  that  while 
the  war  in  Europe,  had,  to  a  certain  extent,  exerted  some  influence 
on  sport  in  the  United  States,  it  was  still  so  much  of  a  far  away  af- 
fair that  most  of  the  tennis  players — as  well  as  the  followers  of  other 
sports — were  going  about  their  accustomed  activities  in  the  usual  man- 
ner. 

In  February,  1917,  however,  it  was  impossible  to  believe  that  the 
United  States  could  choose  any  other  course  than  to  enter  the  war.  There 
was  a  great  deal  of  talk  that  this  development  might  not  come  about, 
events  might  turn  out  otherwise,  but  most  opinion  seemed  to  be  "It's 
only  a  question  of  time  before  we  get  into  it."  Under  such  circum- 
stances those  guiding  such  a  sport  as  tennis  faced  decisions  which  were 
perplexing,  to  say  the  least.

UNITED  STATES  LAWN  TENNIS  ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 


Once  war  was  declared,  the  keenest  judges  of  public  opinion  antici- 
pated just  what  happened,  viz.,  the  people  supported  the  Government  to 
the  utmost.  In  the  first  outbursts  of  patriotic  enthusiasm,  however, 
there  was  danger  of  overshooting  the  mark.  No  one  could  forecast  the 
length  of  the  war.  It  promised  to  be  longer  than  it  was,  and  the  best 
plans  were  those  which  measured  the  United  States'  participation  in 
years  rather  than  months. 

Realizing  the  fact  that  it  might  be  a  long  struggle  that  would  tax  the 
country's  resources  in  men  and  material  to  a  high  percentage  it  seemed 
wise  to  plan  for  the  continuance  of  activities  that  worked  for  the  physi- 
cal betterment  of  the  people.  Other  nations,  earlier  in  the  war  than  this 
country,  who  had  been  forced  to  discard  everything  but  the  war  essen- 
tials learned  the  sad  effects  of  such  action.  To  avoid  their  mistake,  if 
possible,  was  the  desire  of  those  most  familiar  with  the  problem. 

Following  the  declaration  of  war  many  organizations  interested  in 
athletics,  made  definite  decisions,  some  of  which  were  of  doubtful  expedi- 
ency. College  sports,  for  instance,  were  discarded  almost  entirely.  Later 
developments  laid  this  course  open  to  question.  The  prevailing  spirit 
was  to  throw  all  incidental  enterprises  on  the  scrapheap.  But  the  na- 
tion, up  to  that  time,  had  not  learned  that  in  making  war  everyone  can- 
not carry  a  gun.  This  spirit  ran  away  with  college  athletics  to  such  an 
extent  that  on  May  15  President  Wilson  thought  it  wise  to  write  the  fol- 
lowing letter  in  response  to  an  inquiry  as  to  the  Government's  attitude 
toward  sport: 

"I  entirely  agree  with  the  conclusions  contained  in  your  letter  of  May  fif- 
teenth. I  would  be  sincerely  sorry  to  see  the  men  and  boys  in  our  colleges 
and  schools  give  up  their  athletic  sports  and  I  hope  most  sincerely  that  the 
normal  course  of  college  sports  will  be  continued  so  far  as  possible,  not  to 
afford  a  diversion  to  the  American  people  in  the  days  to  come  when  we  shall 
no  doubt  have  our  share  of  mental  depression,  but  as  a  real  contribution  to 
the  national  defense,  for  our  young  men  must  be  made  physically  fit  in  order 
that  later  they  may  take  the  place  of  those  who  are  now  of  military  age  and 
exhibit  the  vigor  and  alertness  which  we  are  proud  to  believe  to  be  charac- 
teristic of  our  young  men." 

Meanwhile  the  officers  of  the  IT.  S.  L.  T.  A.  had  been  doing  their  best 
to  meet  the  Government's  wishes.  On  April  17, 1917,  at  the  request  of  the 
executive  committee,  Ward  C.  Burton,  sectional  delegate  from  the  North- 
west Section,  obtained,  through  a  personal  interview  with  the  Secretary 
of  War  in  Washington,  a  statement  on  the  wishes  of  the  Department,  as 
to  the  action  of  the  Association.  Mr.  Burton  presented  a  letter  to  the 
Secretary,  who  after  rejecting  the  alternative  proposal  contained  therein, 
recommended  the  adoption  of  the  following  plan : 

14 


SEASON  OF  1917 


"We,  the  undersigned  members  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  United 
States  Lawn  Tennis  Association,  believe  athletics  are  a  great  force  in  devel- 
oping healthy  men  and  women  and  for  that  reason  they  should  not  be  aban- 
doned in  this  crisis. 

"We  believe  the  United  States  Lawn  Tennis  Association,  through  its  in- 
fluence with  the  tennis  players  of  the  country,  who  are  of  necessity  young, 
strong  and  active,  can  be  of  invaluable  service  to  the  Government  by  urging 
those  players  to  respond  to  the  call  of  Congress;  by  furnishing  means  and  in- 
centive to  those  not  called,  to  take  outdoor  exercise,  thus  keeping  themselves 
in  good  physical  condition;  by  impressing  upon  all  the  necessity  of  giving  up 
luxuries  and  living  only  in  the  simplest  manner;  by  raising  money  for  the 
Red  Cross,  as  described  below;  and  by  spreading  through  the  clubs  of  the 
Association,  located  in  all  cities  of  the  United  States,  the  idea  of  their  re- 
sponsibility to  the  Government  and  their  duty  to  arouse  the  patriotism,  the 
loyalty  and  the  spirit  of  sacrifice  among  their  members,  calling  upon  each  to 
do  something,  no  matter  how  small,  for  his  country. 

"To  carry  out  these  ideas,  we  have  drawn  up  the  following  plan  and  sub- 
mit it  to  the  Department  of  War  for  approval  or  disapproval  in  whole  or  in 
part: 

"1.  Do  not  cancel  the  schedule  of  tennis  tournaments  for  1917.  Have  the 
220  tournaments  awarded  to  the  clubs  of  the  Association,  located  in  the  vari- 
ous cities  of  the  country  from  Maine  to  California,  nd  afrom  the  Mexican 
to  the  Canadian  border  lines,  played  as  planned. 

"2.  Instruct  the  clubs  holding  tournaments  not  to  put  up  prizes  and  not 
to  have  competition  for  challenge  cups.  Charge  entrance  fees  to  the  players, 
gate  receipts  wherever  possible  and  turn  over  the  net  receipts  to  the  American 
Red  Cross,  either  as  one  large  fund  or  as  contributions  to  the  local  Chapters 
of  the  Red  Cross.  The  latter  would  probblay  raise  more  money  in  most 
localities. 

"3.     Do  not  make  any  ranking  of  players  for  1917. 

"4.  Do  not  hold  any  national  championship  tournaments.  In  their  place 
hold  national  patriotic  tournaments.  By  not  holding  the  championships,  by 
not  giving  prizes  and  by  not  having  any  ranking  of  players  for  1917,  the  in- 
centive to  any  player  to  give  up  everything  else  for  the  sake  of  tennis  fame 
is  taken  away. 

"5.  Instruct  clubs  to  make  no  effort  to  get  players  from  other  parts  of 
the  country  to  play  in  club  tournaments,  as  this  makes  it  necessary  for  the 
player  to  devote  a  week  or  more  away  from  his  work  simply  to  play  tennis 
and  encourages  idleness.  Instruct  clubs  to  aim  rather  for  quantity  than  qual- 
ity, for  a  large  entry  from  men  in  their  immediate  neighborhood,  playing 
practically  all  matches  after  3 :30  in  the  afternoon.  This  will  permit  men 
to  do  their  day's  work  and  in  addition  will  give  them  the  chance  and  stimu- 
lus for  outdoor  exercise. 

"6.  Urge  the  tennis  players  of  the  country  to  respond  to  the  call  of  Con- 
gress in  raising  an  army  and  increasing  the  personnel  of  the  navy  in  accord- 
ance with  the  bills  to  be  passed  by  Congress  for  these  purposes.  Urge  play- 
ers who  are  too  young  or  too  old,  or  who  are  not  called  by  selective  conscrip- 
tion, to   take   courses   in   military  training,  learn  all  they  can  about   military

affairs  and  keep  in  good  physical  condition  in  order  to  fit  themselves  for  mili- 
tary duty  in  case  of  necessity,  and  urge  all  players  to  give  up  luxuries,  save 
in  every  way  possible,  and  lead  a  simple  life. 

"Urge  clubs  to  make  their  tournaments  into  patriotic  gatherings;  to  have 
formal  patriotic  ceremonies  and  to  do  their  utmost  through  entrance  fees, 
gate  receipts  and  any  other  means  in  their  power  to  raise  money  for  the  Red 
Cross. 

"7.  Play  the  entire  schedule  for  juniors  and  boys  (no  one  over  19  eli- 
gible to  play)  as  planned,  including  the  national  championships,  and  encourage 
public  park  tournaments. 

— OR— 

"Should  the  Association  cancel  the  schedule  of  tournaments  and  urge  clubs 
in  each  district  to  give  informal  tournaments  for  benefit  of  the  Red  Cross? 

"We  believe  this  latter  method  would  not  create  as  much  incentive  for 
outdoor  exercise  as  the  former;  would  raise  less  money  for  the  Red  Cross 
and  would  in  general  kill  the  interest  in  tennis  and  result  in  a  lower  stan- 
dard of  physical  condition  among  the  tennis  players  of  the  country,  who  now 
number  probably  1,500,000  persons. 

"The  Association  desires  to  act  not  for  the  good  of  tennis,  but  for  the  best 
interests  of  the  country.    We  have   set  down   our  ideas   on  the    subject,  but 
wish  to  be  governed  entirely  by  the  decision  of  the  Department  of  War." 
The  Secretary  of  War  not  only  approved  the  playing  of  the  tourna- 
ments but  he  urgently  requested  the  co-operation  of  members  who  entered 
the   service  to  help  in  the  development  of  keener  interest  in  athletics 
among  the  men.    His  statement  in  reply  was  as  follows : 

"The  foregoing  recommendations  seem  to  me  admirable  and  I  am  glad  to 
recommend  their  adoption.     In  addition  I  would  be  glad  if  the  members   of 
the  Association  who  do  go  into  military  forces  could  be  requested  to  co-oper- 
ate in  all  efforts  to  establish  athletics   in   the   training   camps    and  so   create 
wholesome  recreations  for  the  leisure  hours  of  soldiers  and  officers." 
After  the  Secretary  made  that  statement  the  Association  sent  certain 
regulations  to  all  its  members,  with  the  approval  of  the  War  Department. 
These  suspended  championships,  prizes,  and  the  award  of  "wins"  on  all 
challenge  trophies,  and  did  away  with  the  ranking.    At   that  time  the 
military  policy  of  the  Government  had  not  been  determined,  and  no  one 
knew  whether  there  would  be  a  volunteer  army,   or  one  raised   by  con- 
scription.   In   any  event,  the  National   Association   did   not   wish  the 
chance  to  win  tennis  honors  to  deter  any  player,  even  in  the  slightest  de- 
gree, from  doing  what  his  country  expected  of  him.    With  that  in  mind, 
these  resolutions  were  adopted,  to  apply  to  all  sanctioned  tournaments. 

"1.     Prizes  shall  not  be  given  for  any  tournament  nor  shall  wins  on  chal-. 
lenge  cups  be  awarded. 

"2.  Championship  tournaments  shall  not  be  played  as  such.  In  all  cham- 
pionship tournaments  the  word  "Patriotic"  shall  be  used  in  place  of  "Cham- 
pionship" and  no  championship  of  any  kind  shall  be  awarded  in  1917.     Ex- 

16 


SEASON  OF  1917 


ample:  The  National  Singles  Championship  shall  not  be  played  but  the 
National  Singles  Patriotic  Tournament  will  be  held  at  the  West  Side  Tennis 
Club,  beginning  August  30.  The  Northwestern  Championship  will  not  be 
played  but  the  Northwestern  Patriotic  Tournament  will  be  held  at  the  Deep- 
haven  Tennis  Club  on  July  21,  1917.  Invitation  and  open  tournaments  may  be 
played  under  their  present  titles.  Clubs  holding  these  events  may  add  the 
word  "Patriotic"  to  the  title  if  they  so  wish. 

"3.  Clubs  are  urged  to  charge  entrance  fees  and  gate  receipts  f/)r  all 
tournaments  and  to  turn  ov.er  the  net  profits  to  the  American  .Red  Cross; 
seventy-five  per  cent,  to  the  local  chapter  and  twenty-five  per  cent,  to  a  gen- 
eral fund,  to  which  all  branches  of  sport  in  the  country  will  be  asked  to  con- 
tribute, all  of  this  fund  to  be  given  to  the  national  organization  of  the  Amer- 
ican Red  Cross  in  Washington,  or  to  be  used  to  furnish  athletic  facilities  for 
soldiers  in  training  at  military  camps,  or  both.  (The  details  of  this  fund 
will  be  sent  to  the  clubs  in  the  near  future.) 

"4.  Clubs  are  asked  not  to  make  special  effort  to  get  players  from  other 
sections  of  the  country  to  enter  their  tournaments,  but  to  strive  rather  for  a 
large  entry  from  their  immediate  locality  in  order  to  encourage  as  many  men 
as  possible  to  take  outdoor  exercise  and  keep  in  good  condition;  to  play  all 
matches  if  possible  after  3 :30  p.  m.,  thus  permitting  men  to  play  in  tourna- 
ments without  interfering  with  their  day's  work. 

"5.  Clubs  are  urged  to  make  their  tournaments  patriotic  gatherings;  to 
have  formal  patriotic  ceremonies  and  ask  the  local  chapters  of  the  American 
Red  Cross  to  co-operate  with  them. 

"6.     The  Association  will  not  make  any  ranking  of  players  in  1917. 

"The  above  regulations  apply  to  the  schedule  of  women's  events  as  well 
as  to  the  men's,  but  not  to  the  junior  and  boys'.  The  junior  and  boys'  sched- 
ule (no  one  19  years  old  before  October  1,  1917,  is  eligible  to  compete)  will  be 
played  exactly  as  planned,  including  all  championship  events. 

"The  Executive  Committee  relies  upon  the  patriotism  of  the  clubs  of  the 
Association  to  carry  out  this  plan  loyally.  It  is  based  upon  three  ideas :  First, 
to  take  away  the  incentive  to  give  up  everything  else  for  the  sake  of  tennis 
fame ;  second,  to  keep  the  tennis  players  of  the  country  in  good  physical  condi- 
tion, and  third,  to  raise  money  for  the  American  Red  Cross. 

"7.  In  case  of  the  cessation  of  hostilities,  all  championships  scheduled  af- 
ter that  date  will  be  played." 

The  work  of  making  athletics  a  genuine  asset  to  the  country  did  not 
stop  with  the  sending  out  of  these  resolutions.  The  Association  was 
busy  along  another  line  also.  A  meeting  of  representatives  of  bodies 
governing  amateur  sport  was  arranged  by  the  Association  to  be  held  at 
the  Eacquet  Club  in  New  York,  April  18.  The  purpose  of  the  gathering 
was  to  discuss  the  policy  to  be  followed  by  these  organizations  during 
the  war,  in  an  effort  to  make  all  amateur  sports  of  the  utmost  service  to 
the  Government  in  the  national  emergency  then  prevailing.  The 
United  States  Golf  Association,  the  Amateur  Athletic  Union,  the  Inter- 
collegiate Association  of  Amateur  Athletes  of  America  and  the  United 
States  Lawn  Tennis  Association  joined  in  the  following  resolution : 

17 


UNITED   STATES   LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

"Resolved,  That  it  is  the  sense  of  this  meeting  that  the  youth  of  the  na- 
tion should  be  encouraged  to  become  physically  fit  and  mentally  alert,  through 
the  stimulus  of  athletic  competition,  and  that  every  effort  should  be  made  to 
interest  all  citizens  in  the  improvement  of  their  physical  condition  by  sys- 
tematic exercise  and  participation  in  sport,  but  that  by  reason  of  the  state  of 
war  now  existing  it  is  not  advisable  to  hold  championship  events  at  any  date 
subsequent  to  a  call  of  the  Government  for  volunteers  or  the  enactment  and 
operation  of  a  bill  for  compulsory  service,  and  that  in  place  of  championship 
events,  competitions  should  be  held  in  which  certificates  instead  of  the  usual 
prizes  or  medals  should  be  the  only  awards  made  to  the  winners,  such  cer- 
tificates to  state  that  by  reason  of  the  existing  conditions  the  winners  shall 
not  be  recognized  as  the  champion  for  the  year,  in  the  sport  for  which  the 
competition  is  held. 

"And  it  is  the  further  sense  of  this  meeting  that  so  long  as  the  existing 
state  of  war  continues  all  athletic  meetings  should  be  conducted  as  patriotic 
demonstrations  and  should  be  held  for  the  purpose  of  raising  funds  for  the 
American  Red  Cross,  seventy-five  per  cent,  to  be  contributed  to  the  local 
chapter  thereof,  and  twenty-five  per  cent,  to  the  national  organization. 

"And  further,  that  it  is  the  sense  of  this  meeting  that  all  athletes  in  the 
Government  service  be  urged  to  co-operate  in  encouraging  athletics,  thus  help- 
ing to  provide  wholesome  recreation  for  the  leisure  hours  of  soldiers  and 
officers  in  all  arms  of  the  service." 

While  these  developments  were  under  way,  the  affairs  of  the  Associa- 
tion had  been  progressing,  as  nearly  as  possible,  on  a  normal  basis.  The 
schedule  included  225  events  which  was  an  increase  of  37%  over  191 6. 
This  was  the  largest  schedule  in  the  Association's  history.  In  addition 
to  the  senior  schedule,  a  list  of  91  dates  of  junior  tournaments  was  pre- 
pared, this  being  an  increase  of  49%  over  the  preceding  year.  The  Asso- 
ciation started  the  tennis  center  plan  of  competition  in  1917  and  the  new 
arrangement  for  juniors  and  boys  worked  remarkably  well.  About  750 
players  took  part  in  70  tournaments,  these  being  held  in  half  the  cities 
designated  as  tennis  centers.  As  a  result  the  national  championship  in- 
cluded entries  from  Baltimore,  Binghamton,  Birmingham,  Buffalo, 
Chicago,  Cincinnati,  Indianapolis,  New  York,  Philadelphia,  Pittsburgh, 
Providence,  St.  Louis,  Seattle  and  Washington  for  the  juniors,  and  from 
Baltimore,  Binghamton,  Cincinnati,  New  York,  Philadelphia,  Pittsburgh, 
Portland,  Providence,  St.  Louis  and  Washington  for  the  boys.  It  was, 
therefore,  the  most  representative  tournament  of  the  kind  that  had  ever 
been  played  in  the  United  States.  And  it  demonstrated  that  the  Asso- 
ciation was  on  the  right  track  in  its  plans  for  developing  competition 
among  the  youngsters. 

With  the  senior  schedule,  however,  it  was  apparent,  quite  early  in  the 
season,  that  the  elimination  of  championships  tended  to  lessen  public  in-

terest  in  these  events.  Furthermore,  the  increasing  pressure  of  war  ac- 
tivities began  to  be  felt  and  by  mid-summer  the  officials  were  convinced 
that  no  large  sum  would  be  realized  from  the  proceeds  of  these  events.  To 
overcome  this  difficulty,  they  decided  to  schedule  a  series  of  exhibition 
matches  by  some  of  the  most  prominent  players  in  the  country,  in  an  en- 
deavor to  raise  $100,000,  to  finance  two  ambulance  sections  for  the  Bed 
Cross.  With  this  in  mind,  a  schedule  was  prepared  which  continued  from 
July  until  October,  1917.  The  details  of  what  proved  to  be  one  of  the 
most  remarkable  achievements  in  the  history  of  tennis  in  this  country, 
are  set  forth  in  a  later  chapter. 

The  general  approval  which  greeted  this  activity  was  summarized  by 
the  vice-president,  Julian  S.  Myrick,  in  a  report  to  the  annual  meeting  of 
1918  as  follows :  "Never  in  the  history  of  the  game  has  the  public  or  the 
players  who  were  left  at  home,  responded  more  cordially  to  the  support 
of  any  undertaking.  The  players  who  toured  the  country  for  exhibition 
matches  performed  one  of  the  greatest  services  ever  rendered  to  the  game 
and  in  this  connection  let  us  not  overlook  the  wonderful  work  done  by 
Miss  Bjurstedt  and  Miss  Browne.  They  outdid  and  outplayed  and  out- 
lasted the  men  in  this  most  arduous  trip.  The  man  who  managed  it  and 
brought  the  trip  to  a  successful  completion  was  Frederick  B.  Alexander, 
He  has  won  many  championships  but  I  doubt  if  there  is  anything  he  has 
done  for"  tennis  which  will  give  him  more  satisfaction  as  the  years  go 
by,  than  this  accomplishment."

CHAPTER  IV 

SEASON  OF  1918 

Association  restores  cham  pionsfiips  in  1918  with  approval  of  War  De- 
partment— Tournament  proceeds  devoted  to  Commission  on  Train- 
ing Camp  Activities — Activity  continued  in  behalf  of  junior  events 
— Colleges  requested  to  devote  more  attention  to  tennis. 

When  the  time  to  formulate  the  plans  and  policy  of  the  Associa- 
tion for  1918  arrived  the  officials  of  the  organization  found  they  were 
facing  conditions  which  were  notably  different  from  those  of  the  pre- 
vious year.  In  1917  when  the  Government's  military  policy  was  undeter- 
mined, the  Association  had  eliminated  championships  and  the  ranking  to 
avoid  any  possibility  of  having  tennis  interfere  in  the  slightest  degree 
with  the  nation's  war  program.  By  1918,  however,  conditions  had 
changed  to  such  an  extent,  that  the  War  Department  advised  the  restora- 
tion of  these  traditional  features  of  the  tennis  season.  To  win  the  war 
was  the  universal  aim  and  everyone  was  united  in  an  effort  toward  that 
great  end. 

As  the  realization  of  this  condition  grew  upon  the  people  there  was 
born  in  their  minds  a  conviction  that  even  military  necessity  might  not 
justify  the  wholesale  lopping  off  of  an  activity,  such  as  athletics.  With 
the  growth  of  this  conviction,  the  idea  that  athletics  seemed  incidental 
and  out  of  place  in  a  nation  at  war  was  lost.  It  is  very  evident  that 
these  circumstances  affected  the  report  of  Julian  S.  Myrick,  acting  pres- 
ident of  the  Association,  made  to  the  Executive  Committee  in  December, 
1918.  His  report  advised  the  restoration  of  championships  and  was  as 
follows : 

"1.  When  the  Executive  Committee  recommended  at  the  beginning  of 
the  1917  season  that  championships  and  ranking  should  be  eliminated,  one 
reason  controlling  their  decision  was  that  at  that  time  the  military  plans  of 
the  Government  had  not  been  determined.  There  was  some  possibility  that 
the  army  to  be  raised  might  be  composed  of  volunteers,  and  tennis  titles  were 
eliminated  so  that  no  player  might  have  an  excuse  for  neglecting  his  obliga- 
tions to  the  Government  in  order  to  win  tennis  honors.  In  view  of  the  fact 
that  the  Government  has  decided  upon  conscription,  that  consideration  no 
longer  holds  good. 

"2.  Since  war  was  declared  the  attitude  of  the  National  Association  and 
the  tennis  players  throughout  the  country  has  been  demonstrated  to  be  com- 
pletely in  accord  with  anything  that  the  Government  may  require.  Not  only 
have  the  first  ten  ranking  players  entered  the  service,  but  hundreds  of  others 
have  joined  the  colors.  The  National  Association  has  officially  placed  its  or- 
ganization at  the  disposal  of  the  Government,  and  by  its  action  in  recruiting 
ambulance  sections  and  raising  money  for  that  purpose  it  has  taken  a  position 
that  cannot  be  misunderstood.

AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

"3.  The  best  information  available  shows  that  the  President  and  the  Secre- 
tary of  War  are  in  favor  of  such  activities  as  will  tend  to  improve  the  physical 
condition  of  men  and  women  throughout  the  country.  It  is  plain,  that  if  the 
war  is  to  continue,  there  will  be  tremendous  demands  made  upon  all  citizens. 
Not  only  will  an  increasing  number  of  men  be  required  for  military  service 
but  the  burdens  placed  upon  those  remaining  at  home  will  be  heavier  because 
of  the  extra  work  they  must  do  to  make  up  for  those  who  have  gone  to  the 
front.  Therefore,  it  is  reasonable  to  say  that  any  sport  which  tends  to  pro- 
mote the  physical  well  being  of  men  and  women  is  extremely  desirable.  Ten- 
nis does  this  and  those  in  a  position  to  judge  say  that  the  alert  mental  atti- 
tude and  fine  standards  of  the  sportsmanship  it  develops  are  almost  as  useful 
as  the  improvement  in  the  physical  condition  resulting  from  the  outdoor  exer- 
cise. In  this  connection  it  should  be  stated  further  that  the  plan  developed 
by  the  National  Association  for  juniors  and  boys  should  be  enlarged  and  con- 
ducted in  such  a  way  as  to  interest  the  greatest  possible  number  of  young 
players.  By  doing  this  the  National  Association  will  be  building  up  the  phy- 
players.  By  doing  this  the  National  Association  wlil  be  building  up  the  physi- 
cal stamina  of  the  men  and  women   of  tomorrow  on  whom  will  fall  increas- 

"4.  It  is  not  generally  realized  that  a  large  property  is  represented  by  the 
National  Association,  but  brief  consideration  of  the  fact  that  five  hundred 
clubs  are  identified  with  the  Association,  and  that  each  of  them  has  invested 
money  for  courts,  club  houses  and  other  equipment,  shows  that  the  total  is 
a  considerable  amount.  If  tennis  clubs  permit  their  members  to  dwindle 
away,  their  officers  will  be  neglecting  their  duty  as  trustees  of  this  property 
interest.  Loss  will  thus  be  incurred  which  cannot  be  corrected  for  many 
years.  Therefore  it  seems  imperative  that  club  officers  should  make  every  ef- 
fort to  maintain  the  personnel  of  their  clubs  by  securing  junior  members,  and 
urging  older  players  now  in  such  organizations  to  continue  their  membership. 
It  would  be  false  economy  to  allow  membership  to  decrease  on  account  of 
the  war,  and  the  resulting  damage  would  be  felt  for  years  to  come.  For  this 
reason  the  junior  program  outlined  by  the  National  Association  should  be 
recommended  at. once  to  the  tennis  public. 

"5.     In  view  of  the  foregoing,  the  following  resolution  is  proposed^ 

Resolved:  That  for  the  season  of  1918  all  championships  shall  be  restored, 
players  shall  be  ranked  and  tournaments  sanctioned  by  the  United  States 
Lawn  Tennis  Association  shall  be  conducted  as  before  the  war. 

Be  It  Further  Resolved:  That  the  net  proceeds  of  such  tournaments  shall 

be  given  to  the  War  Department  Commission  on  Training  Camp  Activities, 

to  provide    athletic  facilities  for    men  in  the    military    service  of  the  United 

States." 

These  recommendations  were  based  on  a  conference  Edwin  F.  Torrey, 

secretary,  held  with  officials  of  the  War  Department.     At  that  time  he 

obtained  from  Raymond  B.  Fosdick,   chairman   of  the   Commission    on 

Training  Camp  Activities,  the  following  statement : 

"Secretary  Baker  has  asked  me  to  consider  the  preamble  and  resolutions  en- 
closed, and  to  answer  your  letter  for  him. 

"The  value  of  participation  in  wholesome  athletics  as  a  factor  in  promot- 
ing physical  fitness  and  mental  alertness  can  not  be  overestimated. 

22 


SEASON  OF   1918 


"The  plan  of  re-establishing  championships,  tournaments  and  rankings  as 
a  means  of  stimulating  general  interest  in  tennis  is  desirable. 

"Your  suggestion  that  the  net  proceeds  be  turned  over  to  the  War  Depart- 
ment Commission  on  Training  Camp  Activities  for  use  in  providing  athletic 
facilities  for  soldiers  in  training  camps  is  hereby  approved." 

By  giving  the  proceeds  of  tournaments  to  the  Commission  on  Train- 
ing Camp  Activities  the  Association  followed  the  policy  which  had  been 
tentatively  outlined  the  year  before  when  it  sought  to  raise  money  for 
athletic  facilities  for  men  in  the  training  camps.  Because  the  War 
Department  was  so  over-taxed  with  far  more  important  work  the  Commis- 
sion on  Training  Camp  Activities  in  its  early  stages  lacked  funds  to 
meet  the  needs  of  the  men  in  training.  Therefore,  the  Association  ad- 
vanced money  for  the  Commission  to  buy  tennis  equipment. 

The  first  effort  after  the  annual  meeting  was  to  arrange  a  schedule  and 
in  this  respect  the  war  was  not  such  a  depressing  factor  as  might  have 
been  anticipated.  Whereas  the  1917  schedule  had  225  dates,  that  for 
1918  contained  1G5.  Under  the  circumstances,  this  was  a  remarkably 
good  showing  because  in  many  instances  almost  the  entire  personnel  of 
tennis  clubs  had  gone  into  military  service.  Only  about  50  of  these 
dates  were  cancelled.  The  championship  in  August  had  an  entry  of  87 
players,  21  of  whom  were  in  the  army  or  navy.  Public  interest  in  this 
championship  was  apparent.  The  proceeds  amounted  to  $5,591.72. 
Under  the  conditions,  this  was  deemed  very  satisfactory. 

Possibly  the  most  effective  action  taken  during  1918  for  the  develop- 
ment of  tennis  was  the  formal  endorsement  of  the  game  by  the  National 
Collegiate  Athletic  Association.  During  their  annual  meeting  that 
year  they  decided  that  tennis  deserved  to  be  regarded  as  a  major 
sport  in  colleges.    The  meeting  voted : 

"To  recommend  to  its  members:  First,  that  they  provide  sufficient  tennis 
equipment  to  care  for  the  needs  of  the  student  body;  and  second,  that  the 
same  recognition  be  accorded  the  institution's  representatives  in  tennis  as  it 
granted  the  teams  in  other  sports." 

This  brought  to  a  head  much  casual  discussion  that  had  been  in  pro- 
gress for  months  as  to  the  desirability  of  making  tennis  a  major  sport. 
In  its  effort  to  determine  the  facts,  the  Association  wrote  to  the  presi- 
dents of  the  500  universities  and  colleges  in  the  United  States  as  fol- 
lows : 

"The  United  States  Lawn  Tennis  Association  is  exceedingly  desirous  that 
your  institution  consider  the  advisability  of  making  tennis  a  major  sport. 
The  two  outstanding  reasons  are;  first,  that  it  is  one  of  the  few  games  of  use 
to  a  man  after  he  is  twenty-five  years  old ;  and  second,  that  the  sooner  the 
game  is  taught,  the  more  pleasure  the  individual  gets  out  of  it  as  he  grows 
older.     By  making  tennis  a  major  sport  in  your  institution,  many  more  boys 

23 


UNITED   STATES   LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORDD  WAR 


will  begin  to  learn  the  game  in  the  schools,  with  the  idea  of  continuing  it 
through  college  and  later  life. 

"With  regard  to  the  first  point :  We  recognize  that  sports  such  as  football, 
baseball  and  rowing  are  great  body-builders.  It  very  often  happens,  however, 
that  men  who  participate  in  these  sports  in  college  do  not  continue  their  exer- 
cise after  graduating,  and  the  reaction,  therefore,  is  distinctly  harmful  to 
their  physical  condition.  The  second  point  is  so  obvious  as  to  require  no  elab- 
oration. 

"Your  institution  develops  a  man's  mind  and  gives  him  information  upon 
which  he  may  continue  to  develop  mentally,  so  long  as  he  retains  his  facul- 
ties. Is  it  not  worth  while  also  to  emphasize  the  necessity  for  physical  exer- 
cise to  keep  one's  body  fit  after  leaving  college,  as  a  most  important  adjunct 
to  proper  mental  functions?  Our  Association  has  undertaken  to  develop  ten- 
nis among  boys  and  girls;  if  the  colleges  for  which  they  are  preparing  would 
recognize  its  benefit  upon  their  lives  by  making  it  a  major  sport,  the  effect 
upon  future  generations  would  be  remarkable. 

"I  would  appreciate  it  greatly  if  you  would  inform  me  of  the  disposition 
you  make  of  this  request.  The  Association  will  gladly  co-operate  in  provid- 
ing any  data  concerning  tennis  that  you  may  need." 

The  response  to  this  appeal  was  very  encouraging  and  many  practi- 
cal suggestions  were  received  so  that  the  Association's  officials  were  in 
a  position  to  convince  the  National  Collegiate  Athletic  Association  of 
the  real  interest  in  tennis  throughout  the  country. 

The  favor  which  tennis  had  gained  that  season  with  men  in  the  ser- 
vice was  well  reflected  in  the  number  of  requests  received  for  balls,  nets 
and  rackets.  The  game  and  the  newly  developed  interest  in  it  was  a  nov- 
elty to  the  older  men  of  the  service.  They,  too,  soon  felt  the  fascination 
for  it  and  in  a  short  time  also  became  enthusiasts.  This  was  especially 
so  in  the  training  camps  for  the  men  of  the  air  service.  The  game  seemed 
particularly  adapted  as  a  part  of  their  physical  training.  It  was  not 
long  before  numerous  courts  were  laid  out  in  the  air  service  camps 
throughout  the  South. 

It  would  be  hard  to  figure  exactly  how  much  the  interest  in  the  sport 
was  stimulated  as  a  result  of  the  attention  it  received  at  the  various 
camps.  During  the  summer  of  that  year  the  Association  had  collected 
from  its  members  considerable  quantities  of  used  supplies.  These  were 
distributed  by  the  Commission  on. Training  Camp  Activities.  Though 
the  amount  collected  was  by  no  means  a  meagre  one,  it  was  hardly  suffi- 
cient for  the  heavy  demand  from  the  men  in  the  camps. 

New  material  was  also  purchased  and  this  combined  with  what  had 
been  gathered  from  members  provided  equipment  for  475  courts.  The 
total  expenditures  provided  575  dozen  balls,  1,800  rackets  and  475  nets. 
Part  of  this  material  went  to  equip  80  courts  in  France,  at  the  urgent  re- 
quest of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.    This  organization  was  in  a  position  to  handle

the  shipment  of  the  goods,  which  was  at  the  time  a  matter  of  real  im- 
portance because  of  the  demands  for  ocean  tonnage.  For  months  this 
material  was  in  use  overseas. 

Late  in  the  season  a  request  was  received  fifom  the  Red 
Cross  asking  the  aid  of  the  Association  in  arranging  a  series  of  athletic 
events  throughout  the  country.  A  general  appeal  was  made  to  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Association  throughout  the  country  to  hold  tournaments  for 
the  benefit  of  the  Red  Cross  with  the  result  that  about  40  were  played  in 
September.  The  proceeds  of  matches  were  given  for  the  most  part  to  the 
respective  local  Red  Cross  chapters. 

Further  proof  that  tennis  was  still  very  much  alive  was  found  in  the 
addition  of  two  new  events  to  the  National  Championships.  These  were 
called  the  "Father  &  Son"  and  the  "Veterans"  Championships.  Although 
they  were  started  during  the  war,  they  aroused  much  interest  throughout 
the  country,  due  doubtless  to  the  fact  that  they  appealed  primarily  to 
those  who  were  not  in  active  military  service.  Intercollegiate  tennis  was 
practically  at  a  standstill  during  1918  as  were  the  other  branches  of  col- 
lege sports. 

During  that  season  the  Association's  policy  was  that  tennis,  after  all, 
was  incidental  and  it  should  not  be  allowed  to  interfere  with  any  war  ac- 
tivity. This  was  particularly  true  in  the  case  of  the  junior  and  boys' 
tournaments.  In  many  cities  of  the  Middle  West  for  instance,  it  was 
found  that  the  youngsters  who  would  normally  be  interested  in  these 
competitions  were  working  on  farms  or  were  holding  war  jobs  in  factor- 
ies. Therefore,  the  Association  advised  the  local  committees  in  such  cases 
not  to  hold  tournaments  for  young  players  as  it  did  not  wish  to  sponsor 
any  program  that  would  distract  their  attention  from  their  obligations 
to  the  country. 

During  1918,  also,  the  ambulance  sections  which  had  been  enlisted  that 
winter  went  over  seas  and  the  first  reports  of  their  experiences  began 
coming  back  to  their  friends  at  home.  Indications  of  what  war  might 
mean  to  the  clubs  also  became  more  and  more  apparent  as  reports  of  de- 
creasing membership  were  received  by  the  National  Association.  Not 
only  did  a  great  many  players  enter  military  service,  but  others  went 
into  the  various  auxiliary  activities  of  the  Government  so  that  clubs'  per- 
sonnel quite  frequently  was  "shot  to  pieces."  The  taxes  imposed  upon 
dues  by  the  war  revenue  bill  and  the  increasing  cost  of  living  furnished 
other  factors  that  worked  to  the  disadvantage  of  the  clubs.  Even  under 
those  circumstances  the  Association  maintained  its  membership  without 
serious  loss  and  was  able  to  proceed  in  reorganizing  without  delay  when 
the  return  to  peace  conditions  gave  tennis  players  a  chance  to  think  of 
their  favorite  sport.

CHAPTER  V 
RAISING  MONEY  FOR  AMBULANCES 

Ewhibition  matches  for  ambulance  fund  arouse  much  interest — Long 
schedule  arranged,  many  players  compete  and  public  commends  the 
undertaking — Series  between  Miss  Browne  and  Miss  Bjurstedt  a 
feature — Proceeds  finance  two  sections — Fund  distributed  in  co- 
operation with  Red  Cross  and  Government. 

Never  in  the  history  of  tennis  has  there  been  played  a  more  interest- 
ing series  of  matches  than  those  staged  by  the  United  States  Lawn  Ten- 
nis Association  during  the  summer  of  1917.  Never  in  the  history  of  the 
sport  have  the  proceeds  of  any  event  been  devoted  to  a  more  worthy 
cause.  And  it  may  be  added  that  never  in  the  history  of  the  game  have 
the  leaders  in  it  responded  more  nobly  than  did  those  who  helped  raise 
the  ambulance  fund. 

To  Mrs.  Franklin  I.  Mallory,  who  was  then  Miss  Molla  Bjurstedt,  and 
to  Miss  Mary  K.  Browne  is  accorded  most  of  the  credit  for  its  success. 
In  all  the  6,000  miles  of  travel  that  the  schedule  lasting  from  July  to 
October  entailed,  they  never  failed  to  meet  every  request  made  of  them. 
And  to  the  honor  of  their  sex  be  it  recorded,  that  under  the  most  trying 
circumstances  they  never  displayed  temper  or  "temperament" — and  they 
were  never  late ! 

From  that  blistering  day  in  July  Avhen  Miss  Browne  stepped  off  a 
transcontinental  train  at  Utica,  N.  Y.,  to  be  soundly  beaten  by  Miss 
Bjurstedt,  to  that  day  many  weeks  later  when  she  had  to  leave  St.  Louis" 
to  hurry  home  on  account  of  her  mother's  illness,  she  was  the  marvel  of 
all  who  saw  her  play.  Miss  Bjurstedt,  being  the  champion,  was  natur- 
ally the  favorite,  and  in  the  earlier  part  of  the  series,  the  matches  went 
to  her.  Later  Miss  Browne  pulled  up  but  it  was  a  nip-and-tuck  contest 
all  the  time,  as  the  following  summary  of  their  play,  shows : 

Utica,  Miss  Bjurstedt  won. 

Plainfield,  Miss  Bjurstedt  won. 

Westfield,  Miss  Bjurstedt  won. 

Greenwich,  Miss  Browne  won. 

Glen  Ridge,  Miss  Browne  won.

Gedney  Farms,  Miss  Bjurstedt  won. 

West  Side,  Miss  Browne  won  2;  Miss  Bjurstedt  won  1.

The  public  was  cordial  in  its  praise  of  the  splendid  service  of  these 
two  girls  and  wherever  they  went,  they  were  cheerfully  accorded  full 
credit  for  a  remarkable  display  of  grit  and  sportsmanship.  The  same 
is  true  of  the  men  who  helped  make  the  matches  a  success,  particular 
mention  being  due  Frederick  B.  Alexander.  Although  he  is  the  hero  of 
many  a  famous  international  contest,  it  is  safe  to  say  that  no  tennis  hon- 
ors were  better  deserved  or  more  modestly  worn,  than  those  won  in 
matches  for  the  ambulance  fund. 

Every  such  enterprise  starts  merely  as  a  good  idea  and  in  this  case,  the 
thought  of  a  series  of  exhibition  matches  occurred  to  Karl  H.  Behr,  who 
saw  in  the  need  for  ambulances  overseas,  an  opportunity  for  the  tennis 
clubs  of  the  country  to  be  of  service.  He  submitted  the  plan  to  President 
Adee,  who  immediately  recognized  its  merit,  and  began  negotiations  with 
the  Bed  Cross.  His  careful  arrangements  later  proved  of  great  value  for 
they  forriied  the  basis  of  negotiations  with  the  Government  when  it  took 
over  the  ambulance  service  and  enabled  the  Association  to  carry  out  the 
plan  successfully.  Anyone  who  has  tried  to  give  something  to  the  United 
States  will  appreciate  the  difflculies  involved,  although  there  is  no  point 
in  setting  forth  the  details  here. 

The  first  move  to  acquaint  the  clubs  with  the  plan  was  to  send  out  the 
following  circular : 

"The  United  States  Lawn  Tennis  Association  proposes  that  the  tennis  play- 
ers of  the  country  give  to  the  army  of  the  United  States,  through  the  Ameri- 
can Red  Cross,  three  ambulance  sections,  fully  equipped  and  manned  by  tennis 
players. 

"Total  cost  will  be  $100,000. 

"Financing — To  raise  this  sum  the  Association  asks  every  club,  belonging 
directly  or  indirectly  to  the  Association,  to  donate  the  largest  possible  amount; 
a  club,  donating  $1,000  can  give  one  ambulance,  marked  with  the  club's 
name.  Two  or  more  clubs  can  combine  to  give  one  car  marked  with  the 
names  of  the  contributing  clubs.  The  Country  Club  of  Westchester,  the 
Field  Club  of  Greenwich,  and  the  West  Side  Tennis  Club  have  each  pledged 
one  or  more  ambulances.

RAISING  MONEY   FOR  AMBULANCES 

"Many  tennis  players  are  already  in  service,  but,  everyone  cannot  under- 
take active  duty.  These  ambulance  sections  offer  you  and  your  club  the 
chance  to  help  those  who  can  go  to  France.  Send  contributions  to  George  T. 
Adee,  38  Broad  Street,  New  York. 

"Recruiting — Details  of  enlistment  appear  on  the  following  page. 

"Exhibition  Matchers — As  an  additional  means  of  -raising  money  for  this 
fund,  a  series  of  exhibition  matches  beginning  about  July  20th  and  continu- 
ing for  six  weeks  will  be  held  at  clubs  in  the  large  cities  throughout  the  coun- 
try. The  schedule  as  far  as  possible  will  conform  to  the  dates  and  places  of 
sanctioned  tournaments.  The  following  players  have  agreed  to  give  up  their 
time  to  these  matches:  W.  M.  Johnston  and  Miss  Mary  |K.  Browne  of  Cal- 
ifornia; F.  B.  Alexander,  Harold  Throckmorton,  K.  H.  Behr,  Miss  Molla 
Bjurstedt,  R.  L.  Murray,  N.  W.  Niles,  and  S.  H.  Voshell  can  probably  take 
part  in  a  few,  and,  in  addition,  possibly  some  of  the  players  now  at  the  offi- 
cers' training  camps,  after  August  12th. 

"Applications  for  Dates — If  your  club  desires  to  hold  one  of  the  exhibi- 
tions, apply  to  George  T.  Adee,  38  Broad  Street,  New  York,  stating  your 
preference  as  to  date  and  whether  or  not  your  club  will  agree  to  guarantee 
$1,000  or  more  from  gate  receipts.  It  is  imperative  that  you  apply  for  a  date  at 
once  as  the  time  in  which  to  arrange  and  play  these  exhibitions  is  limited. 

"Conditions — The  ambulance  sections  given  by  the  United  States  Lawn 
Tennis  Association  may  be  changed  to  ambulance  companies,  or  some  similar 
unit,  to  conform  to  future  rulings  of  the  Government.  All  contributions  are 
to  be  given  with  this  understanding." 

Then  came  the  work  of  securing  subscriptions  and  scheduling  the  ex- 
hibition matches.  For  the  most  part  the  club  subscriptions  were  in  large 
amounts,  although  no  gift  was  too  small  for  the  purpose  in  view.  From 
all  parts  of  the  country  came  money  and  men,  the  response  being  an  il- 
luminating proof  of  the  widespread  interest  in  tennis.  There  were  115 
contributions  amounting  to  $57,689.90,  and  they  came  from  points  as 
widely  separated  as  Boston  and  Manila. 

Arranging  the  schedule  presented  difficulties.  More  clubs  wanted  to 
put  on  the  exhibition  matches  than  it  was  possible  to  arrange  for.  How- 
ever, the  following  schedule  was  compiled,  and  played : 

July  20,  21.  Utica,  N.  Y.,  Yahnundasis  G.  C. 

July  22,  Plainfield,  N.  J.,  Plainfield  C.  C. 

July  25.  Westfield,  N.  J.,  Westfield  G.  C.

To  complete  such  an  array  of  matches  required  the  co-operation  of 
many  players.  In  this  particular,  the  Association  was  handicapped  be- 
cause most  of  the  ranking  men  were  in  the  service.  However,  the  stars  of 
earlier  seasons  came  to  the  rescue.  With  their  assistance,  and  the  help 
of  several  youngsters,  good  exhibitions  were  made  possible.  The  players 
to  whom  official  certificates  were  awarded  for  their  part  in  the  undertak-

In  the  early  winter  of  1918  enough  money  had  been  received  so  that 
the  Association  could  undertake  the  financing  of  the  two  sections,  No. 
603  and  Company  No.  8,  which  were  undergoing  their  preliminary  train- 
ing at  Allentown.  After  money  had  been  set  aside  to  furnish  the  ambu- 
lances for  these  units  there  was  still  a  balance  in  the  fund.  Under  an 
arrangement  then  followed  by  organizations  which  were  interested  in  a 
particular  section,  the  Association  created  a  section  fund  of  $2,000  for 
No.  603.  Later  a  similar  fund  of  $1,644.44  was  established  for  No.  8, 
this  being  37/45  of  the  amount  assigned  to  No.  603,  on  account  of  No  8's 
smaller  personnel.  These  funds  were  administered  under  regulations 
which  provided  for  proper  procedure  and  were  used  to  purchase  extra 
food  or  other  items  not  furnished  by  the  Government.  When  these  funds 
were  established,  the  Association  also  spent  $1,000  to  buy  special  boots 
and  coats  for  No.  603  and  made  a  similar  pro  rata  allotment  to  No.  8, 
their  fund  being  $822.22. 

When  it  developed,  in  negotiations  with  the  Government,  that  there 
was  a  surplus  of  ambulances  in  France,  the  executive  committee  on  De- 
cember 7,  1917,  adopted  the  following : 

"Whereas'.  There  is  a  surplus  now  of  ambulances  in  France  and  shipping 
conditions  involve  considerable  delays  in  forwarding  freight,  and 

"Whereas:  Military  authority  will  be  granted  the  commanding  officer  of 
each  section  recruited  by  the  U.  S.  L.  T.  A.,  to  place  brass  plates  4x6  inches 
bearing  the  names  of  member  clubs  designated  by  the  Association  on  ambu- 
lances driven  by*  these  sections,  upon  their  arrival  in  France,  now,  therefore,

UNITED   STATES   LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

"Be  It  Resolved:  That  the  executive  committee  of  the  United  States 
Lawn  Tennis  Association  instruct  its  officers  to  release  to  Col.  E.  E.  Per- 
sons, commanding  officer,  U.  S.  Army  Ambulance  Camp,  Allentown,  Pa., 
through  the  New  York  Office  of  the  American  Red  Cross  $800  for  each 
and  every  ambulance  so  designated,  and  that  each  expenditure  be  hereby  ap- 
proved, when  made  from  the  fund  known  as  the  Tennis  Ambulance  Fund." 

In  the  spring  of  1918  both  ambulance  sections  were  ordered  abroad, — 
No.  603  to  Italy  and  No.  8  to  France.  Col.  Persons,  fortunately  for  the 
National  Association,  was  in  command  of  the  Ambulance  Service  in 
Italy.  He  personally  attended  to  the  completion  of  the  arrangements  for 
the  transfer  of  $32,000,  which  had  been  agreed  to  by  officers  of  the  Asso- 
ciation. Under  the  resolution  of  the  executive  committee,  previously 
quoted,  and  with  the  approval  of  the  Red  Cross,  he  tendered  the  money  to 
the  Italian  Ministry  of  War.    His  letter  of  transmittal  follows : — 

"1.  I  hand  you  herewith  my  check  for  203,200  lire  on  the  Genova 
Branch,  National  City  Bank  of  New  York,  which  was  transmitted  to  me  by 
the  United  States  Lawn  Tennis  Association.  This  Association  is  comprised 
of  a  large  number  of  sections  or  chapters  scattered  throughout  the  United 
States.  The  Association  decided  to  equip  two  sections  of  the  United  States 
Army  Ambulance  Service,  and  supply  each  section  with  20  Ford  ambulances, 
which  it  was  estimated  would  cost  not  to  exceed  $800.00  each.  The  Asso- 
ciation, therefore,  arranged  to  place  in  my  hands  funds  for  the  purchase  of 
40  Ford  ambulances  at  $800.00  each,  amounting  to  $32,000.00,  which  trans- 
ferred into  lire  amounts  to  203,200  lire.  It  was  the  desire  of  the  Associa- 
tion that  each  one  of  these  ambulances  carry  a  small  brass  name  plate  bear- 
ing the  name  of  the  chapter  of  the  Association  which  had  contributed  for  the 
purchase  of  ambulances,  and  the  officers  of  the  Association  furnished  me  with 
40  of  these  plates  suitably  engraved  before  we  left  America.  Just  before  our 
departure  for  Italy,  however,  it  was  decided  that  each  of  our  sections  should 
be  equipped  with  12  G.  M.  C.  ambulances,  the  cost  of  which  I  think  is  be- 
tween $3,000.00  and  $4,000.00  each.  The  funds  provided  by  the  Tennis 
Sections  were,  therefore,  not  sufficient  to  purchase  this  equipment.  Neverthe- 
less, in  view  of  the  arrangement  which  had  been  previously  made,  I  placed 
the  40  brass  name  plates  of  the  Tennis  Association  on  40  G.  M.  C.  ambu- 
lances brought  over  by  us,  and  they  have  borne  these  plates  during  the  work 
at  the  front,  as  desired  by  the  contributors.  In  order  that  the  money  may 
be  expended  as  desired  by  the  donors,  I  beg  to  offer  to  you  the  amount  men- 
tioned above  for  the  purchase  of  such  number  of  ambulances  as  it  will  buy, 
suggesting  that  very  probably  it  would  meet  the  wishes  of  the  contributors 
if  these  ambulances  were  used  in  the  service  of  the  Italian  and  American 
troops  occupying  Gattero  and  Fiume.  If,  however,  these  troops  are  supplied 
with  ambulances,  or  if  your  stock  of  ambulances  on  hand  is  all  that  is  re- 
quired, I  feel  justified  in  assuming  the  responsibility  of  saying  on  behalf  of 
the  contributors  that  the  money  is  available  for  the  purchase  of  such  other 
medical  supplies  as  you  mav  deem  necessary  at  this  time.  I  feel  sure  that 
the  donors,  though  originally  intending  that  the  money  be  used  for  the  pur- 

38 


RAISING   MONEY   FOR  AMBULANCES 

chase  of  ambulances,  would  now  desire  that  it  be  expended  where  it  will    do 
the  most  good  in  caring  for  the  sick  and  wounded. 

"2.  I  beg  to  take  this  occasion  to  renew  assurances  of  appreciation  of  the 
many  courtesies  which  have  been  extended  to  this  Service  by  your  office." 

In  response  to  this  letter  Lieutenant  General  Zupelli  on  January  3, 
1919,  wrote  to  Colonel  Persons  as  follows : 

"This  War  Department,  in  acknowledging  receipt  of  the  check  for  L.203,- 
200  (two-hundred  and  three-thousand,  two-hundred)  of  the  National  City 
Bank  of  New  York  (branch  of  Genova),  begs  of  you  to  be  the  interpreter 
with  the  United  States  Tennis  Association  of  the  sentiments  of  the  heartiest 
and  sincerest  gratitude  for  their  generous  gift,  which,  by  the  noble  motives 
that  have  inspired  it,  shows  once  more  what  a  great  spirit  of  sincere  friend- 
ship and  solidarity  animates  the  generous  American  people  towards  Italy. 

"In  accordance  with  the  wish  expressed  by  the  above  mentioned  Tennis 
Association,  I  take  pleasure  in  assuring  you  that  the  sum  will  be  used  for 
purchases  of  or  repairs  to  ambulances  that  perform  their  duties  in  the  re- 
claimed territories,  or,  should^it  be  deemed  necessary,  it  will  be  employed  for 
the  purchase  of  those  medical  supplies  that  would  respond  better  and  more 
efficaciously  to    the    hygienic-sanitary  needs    of  the  same  sections  of  country. 

"I  avail  myself  of  this  opportunity  to  express  to  you  also  my  personal  heart- 
felt thanks. 

"With  the  assurance  of  my  highest  esteem  and  consideration." 

AA'hen  Colonel  Persons  forwarded  this  letter  to  the  Association,  he 
made  the  following  comment :  "I  feel  sure  that  the  United  States  Lawn 
Tennis  Association  has  not  only  provided  ambulances  for  use  in  the  war 
zone,  but  has  rendered  a  service  to  our  Government  by  helping  to  cement 
the  friendship  already  existing  between  Italy  and  the  United  States." 

Subsequently  he  forwarded  the  following  additional  acknowledgment 
of  the  gift  by  the  Adjutant  General  of  the  Royal  Italian  Army : 

"This  Command  acknowledges  receipt  of  folio  12646,  dated  December  21, 
1918,  of  this  Delegazione,  in  regard  to  the  generous  gift  of  the  United  States 
Tennis  Association. 

"This  is  a  new  and  considerable  contribution  that  is  added  to  the  many 
others,  both  material  and  moral,  which  the  United  States  has  so  freely  given 
us  during  the  war;  it  is,  furthermore,  a  new  proof  of  the  ties  of  sympathy 
which  bind  and  unite  us  intimately  to  the  great  American  nation. 

"This  Command  kindly  asks  this  Delegazione  to  convey  to  the  above  men- 
tioned Association  our  most  cordial  thanks,  and  to  tell  them  how  thankfully 
we  accept  and  how  much  we  appreciate  their  generous  gift." 

After  this  payment  had  been  made  and  all  other  charges  against  the 
fund  were  met,  there  was  a  balance  of  about  f 9,000  which  was  returned 
pro  rata  to  the  donors,  after  having  been  released  both  by  the  Govern- 
ment and  the  Red  Cross.

CHAPTER  VI 

RECRUITING  FOR  AMBULANCE  SECTIONS 

Recruiting  two  ambulance  sections — Changes  in  military  regulations 
make  the  task  difficult — Men  come  from  all  parts  of  the  United 
States — Several  make  quick  trip  from  Honolulu — Sections  trained 
at  Allentown,  Pa, — Personnel  of  the  two  units  as  finally  assigned  to 
active  service. 

While  raising  money  to  finance  ambulance  sections  the  Association 
was  faced  with  the  additional  task  of  recruiting  the  personnel.  For  the 
most  part  the  men  recruited  were  tennis  players.  This  however  was  not 
an  essential  for  enlistment.  The  main  difficulty  which  the  Association's 
officers  had  to  contend  with  was  the  uncertainty  in  enlistment  procedure. 
One  week  there  would  be  an  announcement  that  recruiting  officers  could 
enlist  men  for  the  ambulance  service  and  the  next  week  a  newly  issued 
order  would  revoke  the  previous  one. 

So  far  as  the  status  of  the  Association's  sections  was  concerned,  these 
varying  orders,  changing  almost  from  day  to  day  to  conform  to  the  mili- 
tary conditions,  made  no  ultimate  difference.  The  War  Department  was 
cognizant  of  the  plan,  and  the  Association  was  assured  that  all  would 
come  out  well,  as  it  eventually  did.  However,  the  commanding  officers  of 
the  various  headquarters,  where  some  men  had  to  be  enlisted,  were  ob- 
ligated to  follow  their  official  instructions.  As  a  result,  the  recruits  des- 
tined for  Allentown  were  sidetracked  to  Fort  Slocum,  Jefferson  Barracks 
and  other  posts  which  they  described  as  "way  stations"  and  "tank 
towns"  in  the  fervent  telegrams  they  sent  the  National  Association,  ap- 
pealing for  assistance  in  reaching  their  objective. 

The  plan  finally  adopted  by  the  Association  was  to  enroll  suitable  ap 
plicants,  whose  names  and  addresses  were  submitted  to  Col.  E.  E.  Per- 
sons, Commander  of  the  Mobilization  Camp  for  the  United  States  Army 
Ambulance  Service  at  Allentown,  Pa.  He  secured  orders,  through  the  Ad- 
jutant General,  for  these  men  instructing  them  to  report  to  the  local 
headquarters  of  this  branch  of  service.  There  they  were  enlisted  and  for- 
warded to  Allentown,  where  they  received  a  training  which  lasted 
through  the  late  fall  and  winter  of  1917-1918 

From  the  clubs  and  sectional  associations  the  national  body  received 
wonderful  assistance  in  securing  the  personnel  for  these  sections.  A 
striking  illustration  of  the  widespread  interest  in  the  project  will  be 
found  in  the  following  extract  taken  from  the  October  15,  1917,  issue  of 
"American  Lawn  Tennis:"

RECRUITING  FOR  AMBULANCE    SECTIONS 

"Besides  the  foregoing  there  are  five  men  already  at  Allentown  whose 
presence  is  due  to  the  activity  of  the  National  Association.  They  are  Fran- 
cis Brown,  William  Wells,  Fred  Biven,  Ernest  Podmore  and  William  Noble, 
from  Honolulu.  The  story  of  their  coming  reads  like  Paul  Revere's  ride, 
for  they  came  through  from  Honolulu  to  New  York  in  the  same  time  that 
is  required  for  the  mail.  Biven  and  Podmore  left  Honolulu  August  28  on 
the  Wilhelmina.  They  left  San  Francisco  on  the  9th  and  were  in  New  York 
on  the  14th,  having  made  the  trip  from  Honolulu  in  eleven  days. 

"Arrangements  for  their  coming  had  been  made  by  cable  at  a  time  when 
it  was  supposed  that  the  examinations  for  the  first  section  would  be  held 
September  15th.  There  had  been  delay,  however,  in  arranging  the  prelim- 
inaries and  when  they  reached  New  York  there  was  no  section  for  them  to 
join.  Lieutenant  James  Boyd  of  the  New  York  Chapter  of  the  American 
Red  Cross,  through  which  the  National  Association  had  been  working, 
brought  the  matter  to  the  attention  of  the  Allentown  authorities  and  be- 
cause of  their  remarkable  trip,  the  men  were  instructed  to  report  at  Allen- 
town, where  they  were  examined  and  enlisted.  No  argument  in  their  favor 
was  needed  when  it  became  known  that  some  of  them  closed  their  business 
affairs  and  started  for  New  York  on  three  days'  notice.  The  military  author- 
ities took  the  position  that  men  who  wanted  to  join  as  badly  as  all  that  cer- 
tainly ought  to  be  accommodated. 

"Since  that  time  Alfred  L.  Castle  of  Honolulu  has  cabled  for  permission 
to  send  a  couplcmore  recruits.  Chicago  wants  to  raise  a  section  all  by  it- 
self. Pittsburgh  has  15  men  ready  to  join,  and  other  cities  are  interested. 
The  response  from  New  York  City  has  been  rather  small  thus  far,  but  it  is 
felt  that  ad  soon  as  men  understand  that  there  is  a  chance  to  enlist  at  once, 
there  will  be  plenty  of  applications." 

One  by  one  these  recruits  eventually  found  their  way  to  the  training 
camp  at  Allentown.  That  camp,  by  the  way,  was  a  splendid  example  of 
the  governmental  use  made  of  existing  facilities  when  an  army  had  to  be 
raised.  Under  its  official  designation  of  Camp  Crane,  it  peace-time  use 
as  a  fairground  would  hardly  have  been  recognized.  Such,  however,  was 
its  purpose  and  to  that  use  it  reverted  after  the  war. 

Anyone  acquainted  with  the  fairground  as  it  was  during  1917  and  the 
years  preceding,  upon  visiting  it  that  year  and  during  the  war,  would 
have  found  himself  in  strange  surroundings.  The  entire  aspect  of  the 
place  was  transformed  within  a  short  time.  Instead  of  holiday  crowds, 
sleek  race  horses,  busy  judges  and  fair  officials,  proud  farmers  with 
their  prize  live  stock  and  produce,  there  were  visible  only  the  men  and 
implements  of  warfare.  Sentries  walked  their  beats  before  the  gates  to 
the  grounds  and  within  those  gates,  men  in  khaki  swarmed  everywhere. 
A  Y.  M.  C.  A.  hut  replaced  the  side-show  tents,  bugle  calls  were  heard  in- 
stead of  the  barkers'  shouts  and  only  the  buildings  stood  as  a  silent  re- 
minder of  the  fair  ground's  peace-time  purpose. 

Even  they  had  been  greatly  changed.  The  poultry  house  became  a  rec- 
reation hall.    The  seats  were  removed  from  the  big  grand  stand  and   re-

placed  with  hundreds  of  bunks  for  the  soldiers  to  use  while  barracks  were 
being  erected.  The  lower  part  of  the  stand,  under  the  section  originally 
devoted  to  seats,  became  a  mess  hall,  said  to  be  the  largest  under  one  roof 
in  the  whole  country.  One  of  the  small  buildings  was  turned  into  a 
post  exchange  where  the  men  could  buy  everything  from  sweet  chocolate 
to  shaving  cream,  and  the  former  headquarters  of  the  fairground's  offi- 
cials found  a  new  use  as  the  military  administration  building. 

These  were  not  the  only  changes  for  every  foot  of  space  that  was  under 
a  roof,  was  utilized.  Men  were  housed  in  cattle  sheds,  sheep  pens,  sta- 
bles— anywhere  they  could  find  protection  against  the  weather — and  thus 
they  got  their  first  taste  of  the  "40  men  or  8  horses"  that  later  was  to  be- 
come a  by- word  in  France.  A  central  heating  station  and  additional  bar- 
racks were  put  up  as  rapidly  as  possible  but  even  under  the  pressure  of 
war  necessity  there  was  delay,  and  for  weeks  at  a  time  all  the  recruits 
who  had  been  assigned  to  Camp  Crane  could  not  find  shelter  there. 

At  one  time  the  congestion  was  so  great  that  all  the  men  could  not  be 
accommodated  in  camp.  As  a  result  hundreds  lived  in  dugouts,  or  tents, 
in  the  county  where  they  became  accustomed  to  open-air  living.  When 
such  an  "outfit"  returned  from  its  practice,  another  departed  for  a  period 
of  training  and  by  such  shifting  about,  the  camp  was  made  to  serve.  Ath- 
letics and  entertainments  of  various  sorts  helped  to  keep  the  men  good- 
natured,  despite  the  fact  that  they  chafed  at  the  delay  in  getting  into  ac- 
tion. Many  had  enlisted  at  the  earliest  possible  moment  in  the  belief 
that  the  ambulance  sen-ice  offered  the  quickest  means  of  getting  into  ac- 
tion and,  therefore,  fretted  at  the  time  consumed  in  what  they  regarded  as 
almost  unnecessary  preparation. 

The  delay  caused  by  the  training  discouraged  many  of  the  recruits 
who  had  hoped  to  be  overseas  by  Christmas,  1917.  However,  when  it  is 
considered  that  other  men  had  been  in  the  camp  all  the  previous  summer 
the  men  of  these  two  sections  did  not  fare  so  badly.  The  delay  in  start- 
ing overseas  was  soon  forgotten  because  both  sections  had  remarkable  ex- 
periences when  they  finally  arrived  in  the  war  zone. 

The  first  section  recruited  by  the  National  Association  was  formed  as 
No.  603,  United  States  Army  Ambulance  Service,  with  Lt.  Richard  H. 
Fitzgerald  as  commanding  officer.  It  numbered  45  men.  Among  the 
first  recruits  for  section  No.  603  one  came  from  Los  Angeles,  six  from 
St.  Louis,  twelve  from  Chicago,  while  the  remaining  26  came  from  points 
scattered  throughout  the  LTnited  States. 

The  second  was  formed  as  No.  572  under  Lt.  Alfred  L.  Miller.  Sub- 
sequently, under  new  orders,  it  was  reduced  to  37  men  and  designated  as 
Evacuation  Ambulance  Company  No.  8.    Lt.  Miller  having  been   taken

CHAPTER  VII 

TENNIS  AMBULANCE  SECTIONS  ABROAD 

Section  60S  starts  abroad  in  June,  1918 — Lands  in  Italy,  is  divided  and 
part  is  transferred  to  France — Active  in  St.  Mihiel  and  Argonne  op- 
erations— Then  goes  into  Germany — Company  No.  8  has  important 
service  in  France  and  then  enters  Germany — Fart  of  company  sent 
to  Belgium. 

When  the  Association  had  raised  sufficient  money  to  equip  two  ambu- 
lance sections  and  had  completed  the  task  of  enrolling  their  personnel, 
control  of  both  sections  passed  into  the  hands  of  the  United  States  Gov- 
ernment for  all  ambulance  services  previously  conducted  by  the  Red 
Cross  had  by  this  time  been  placed  under  the  direct  supervision  of  the 
War  Department. 

The  details  of  the  activities  of  these  two  units  are  fairly  aglow  with 
interesting  and  thrilling  incidents.  Men  of  both  sections  have  recorded 
them  in  diary  form  and  they  are  to  be  found  in  another  chapter  of  this 
book.  But  to  give  the  reader  an  idea  of  the  splendid  record  achieved  by 
these  men,  a  brief  summary  of  both  companies  will  be  submitted. 

Section  603  which  was  organized  in  the  early  part  of  the  winter  of 
1917,  was  in  command  of  Lieutenant  Richard  H.  Fitzgerald.  On  June 
13,1918,  following  their  period  of  training  in  this  country  they  sailed 
aboard  the  "Giuseppe  Verdi,"  formerly  an  Italian  steamer.  They  were 
landed  at  Genoa,  Italy,  June  27  and  the  men  concluded  they  were  headed 
for  service  on  the  Italo-Austrian  front.  Preparations  for  this  assign- 
ment were  practically  completed  when  the  personnel  of  the  unit  was  re- 
duced to  33  men.  The  larger  part  left  Genoa,  August  13,  1918,  for  France 
and  the  remainder  was  reorganized  with  parts  of  other  sections  into  Pro- 
visional Company  "A."  This  company  took  part  in  the  last  big  Italian 
drive  against  the  Austrians  and  in  other  important  engagements  along 
the  Piave.  They  were  returned  to  the  United  States  before  the  others, 
reaching  New  York,  April  28,  1919. 

The  reorganized  Section  603  saw  their  first  bit  of  service  when  they 
entered  the  St,  Mihiel  drive,  September  12,  1918,  with  the  Fifth  Division 
of  the  United  States  Regulars.  For  six  days  after  their  entrance  they 
carried  out  the  casualties  of  that  division.  This  work  especially  fitted 
rhem  for  their  next  assignment  which  was  in  the  Argonne. 

The  section  was  sent  into  the  Argonne,  September  26,  1918,  with  the 
89th  Division  and  continued  throughout  the  entire  Argonne-Meuse  oper- 
ations with  that  division.  There  they  rendered  the  service  which  won  for 
them  a  citation  in  general  orders,  reading : 

49 


UNITED   STATES   LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

"Section  603,  U.  S.  A.  A.  S.,  1st.  Lt.  R.  H.  Fitzgerald,  commanding,  for 
faithful  and  conscientious  performance  of  arduous  duties  in  the  evacuation 
of  sick  and  wounded  while  attached  to  the  5th  Corps  from  September  23rd 
to  November  15th,  1918,  during  the  Meuse-Argonne  operations." 

They  were  at  Lagrange  au  Bois  Farm  when  the  Armistice  was  signed, 
November  11,  1918,  and  left  there  a  week  later  to  go  through  Longwy, 
Luxemburg,  Treves  and  Prum.  They  were  relieved  at  Prum  on  March 
17,  1919,  and  started  for  Brest.  There  they  remained  until  the  day  of 
their  sailing,  April  19,  1919,  on  the  "Koenig  der  Nederlander"  for  home. 
It  was  not  until  May  1,  that  the  men  were  landed  finally  at  Newport 
News  and  because  of  the  duration  of  the  voyage,  the  troops  facetiously  re- 
ferred to  the  ship  as  the  "Neverland."  Upon  landing  they  were  immedi- 
ately sent  from  Newport  News  to  Camp  Lee,  Virginia,  where  21  men 
were  discharged.  Six  of  the  men  who  had  originally  come  from  Chicago 
were  sent  to  Camp  Grant,  Illinois,  for  discharge  and  two  others  were  sent 
to  Camp  Devens,  Massachusetts. 

Three  members  of  Section  603  who  did  not  return  with  the  unit  from 
France  were  Anson  Lyman,  Lawrence  W.  Bergstresser  and  Edward  W. 
Pedrick.  Lyman,  who  was  taken  ill,  had  been  left  in  a  hospital ;  Berg- 
stresser had  broken  his  collar  bone  in  October,  1918,  and  Pedrick 
wrenched  his  knee  when  a  car  had  turned  over  in  Brest. 

Of  the  twelve  ambulances  with  which  the  section  started,  eight  lasted 
to  the  finish.  The  maximum  mileage  for  one  car  was  11,000  miles.  So 
heavy  was  the  pressure  under  which  the  men  worked  that  it  was  impos- 
sible to  keep  a  record  of  the  number  of  wounded  men  handled  by  them. 
From  September  26,  1918,  until  the  signing  of  the  armistice  the  cars  were 
in  cod  tinuous  operation,  running  24  hours  a  day — the  drivers  working  in 
shifts. 

Each  member  of  Section  603  is  entitled  to  wear  a  star  with  his  victory 
medal  because  of  the  citation  won  in  the  Argonne.  They  are  also  privi- 
leged to  wear  the  battle  clasps  for  the  St.  Mihiel  and  the  Argonne- 
Meuse  campaigns,  the  campaign  clasp  for  Italy  and  France,  the  decora- 
tion for  the  Army  of  Occupation  in  Germany  and  the  Italian  war  ser- 
vice ribbon  by  special  decree  of  the  Italian  Government. 

The  history  of  the  other  section,  Evacuation  Ambulance  Company  No. 
8  is  equally  interesting,  for  they  too  saw  real  service.  This  company  was 
formed  as  Section  572  of  the  U.  S.  Army  Ambulance  Service  and  under 
orders  of  the  Adjutant  General  was  reorganized  March  19,  1918,  with 
Lieutenant  John  B.  Garvey  in  command. 

The  company  sailed  from  Hoboken  on  the  "Orizaba,"  July  9,  1918,  and, 
landed  eight  days  later  at  Brest.  The  trip  across  was  a  quiet  one  with 
no  interruptions  from  the  "U"  boats  or  any  other  enemy  craft.      They

were  encamped  at  Brest  until  July  23  when  they  were  ordered  to  La  Pal- 
lice.  Several  days  were  then  spent  at  one  of  the  Base  Ports,  No.  7,  that 
had  been  taken  over  by  the  A.  E.  F.  The  journey  to  the  Front  was  made 
slowly.  They  had  received  their  motor  equipment  consisting  of  12  G.  M. 
C.  ambulances  which  were  issued  August  3,  1918.  On  August  5  and  6 
they  were  in  Paris  and  it  was  during  their  rest  there  that  Big  Bertha, 
the  German  long-range  gun,  bombarded  the  city. 

From  Paris  the  company  was  ordered  to  join  Mobile  Hospital  No.  2 
and  after  a  short  period  with  them  the  section  was  nearer  the  Front.  They 
were  in  the  vicinity  of  St.  Mihiel  just  before  the  opening  of  the  big  oper- 
ations in  September.  Though  by  this  time  they  had  often  been  within 
sound  of  the  big  guns,  yet  thus  far  they  had  never  been  actively  en- 
gaged in  service  under  fire.  Their  first  taste  of  this  experience  was 
with  the  First  Army  artillery  units  at  Dieulouard.  They  worked  at  this 
station  throughout  the  entire  St.  Mihiel  drive. 

Every  night  the  company  ran  its  ambulances  from  dressing  stations  to 
field  hospitals,  and  then  back  to  the  big  hospital  centers  at  Toul  and 
Nancy.  It  was  during  this  kind  of  work  that  the  men  showed  them- 
selves at  their  best.  Rough,  dark  and  shell-torn  roads  held  no  terrors  for 
them.  Often  they  had  no  light  to  guide  them  but  the  stars  and  an  occa- 
sional flare  from  overhead  fire. 

They  also  served  in  the  Argonne-Meuse  offensive,  having  been  assigned 
to  Bed  Cross  Military  Hospital  No.  114  at  Fleury  s  Aire,  September  22, 
1918.  When  the  Argonne  operation  began,  a  few  days  later,  they  found 
plenty  of  work.  During  the  first  thirty  days  of  this  operation  they  hauled 
G,500  patients.    Frequently  the  cars  worked  36  and  48  hours  at  a  stretch. 

After  Armistice  Day,  November  11,  the  company  had  a  short  rest. 
Then,  about  the  last  of  November  it  was  ordered  to  join  the  Army  of 
Occupation  at  Dun  s  Meuse.  Through  Verdun  and  part  of  Belgium  they 
advanced  into  Germany,  reaching  Wittlich  December  16,  1918,  where 
they  stayed  until  the  end  of  the  year. 

In  February  they  returned  to  France  for  duty  with  the  advance  S.  O. 
S.  section.  This  assignment  lasted  until  March,  1919,  when  they  were 
put  on  the  priority  list  for  return  to  the  United  States.  However,  before 
sailing  new  orders  were  received.  The  personnel  of  the  "outfit"  was  divided 
and  Lieutenant  Garvey  with  12  men  were  sent  to  Antwerp,  Belgium. 
Duty  detained  this  detachment  in  Belgium  until  July  20,  1919,  on  which 
date  they  sailed  for  America  on  the  "Princess  Matoika,"  landing  at 
Hoboken  August  1, 1919.  The  men  were  discharged  at  Camp  Dix,  N.  J., 
August  5.

That  part  of  Company  No.  8  which  did  not  go  to  Belgium  with  Lieu- 
tenant Garvey  was  ordered  to  Le  Mans  and  May  14  it  joined  the  306th 
Sanitary  Train  of  the  81st  Division  at  Beaumont  for  passage  home.  They 
sailed  for  home  on  the  "Manchuria"  June  9,  1919,  and  landed  at  Newport 
News,  Va.,  June  20.  From  here  the  men  were  assigned  to  various  camps 
for  discharge. 

From  the  foregoing  it  is  evident  that  this  company,  as  well  as  Section 
G03,  is  entitled  to  the  principal  decorations  for  overseas  service.  Only  the 
most  important  details  of  their  remarkable  experiences  have  been  out- 
lined. Later  chapters,  extracts  from  the  records  kept  by  its  members,  give 
vivid  impressions  of  the  life  of  Section  603,  while  Sergeant  Whipple 
Jacobs  and  Homer  Swainey  of  Company  No.  8  give  a  detailed  record  of 
their  company's  activities.

CHAPTER  VIII 
SECTION  603,  U.  S.  A.  A.  S. 
Overseas  experiences  of  Ambulance  Section  603,  as  recorded  by  men  who 
served  in  that  unit. 

On  Board  Transport. 

At  last!.  .  .  At  five  this  morning  the  trains  bringing  the  Italian 
contingent  from  Allentown  pulled  into  Jersey  City,  and  by  ferry  boat 
we  were  put  aboard  this  Italian  liner  at  its  dock  beneath  the  great  dial 
of  the  famous  Colgate  clock.  The  inscrutable  face,  overlooking  our  de- 
parture, one  scans  in  vain  for  any  intimation  of  what  the  future  has  in 
store  for  our  expedition.  If  this  Sphinx  of  sailing  transports  has  any 
message  for  us,  it  is — judging  from  what  one  hears  of  Europe,  and  es- 
pecially Italy,  in  wartime,  and  applying  the  pronouncement  of  Dante  to 
this  first  step  into  war's  inferno :  Who  enters  here  leaves  soap  behind. 
Wherefore,  from  all  reports,  the  men  have  equipped  themselves  with  sup- 
plies of  soap  sufficient,  if  it  all  be  ivory,  to  float  a  ship.  Such  a  fact 
would  account  for  the  general  indifference  to  the  U-boat  sinkings,  with 
which  the  papers  have  been  preoccupied  for  the  last  few  days.  Or  per- 
haps it  is  because  we  are  too  busy  stowing  ourselves  away  to  think  of 
mere  possibilities. 

We  are  comfortably  quartered — more  so  than  could  have  been  ex- 
pected of  steerage.  The  ship — the  "Giuseppe  Verdi" — is  said  to  be  one  of 
the  best  and  largest  of  the  Italian  Transatlantic  Line,  and  being  specially 
designed,  presumably,  for  steerage  transportation,  comparatively  little 
of  her  space  is  devoted  to  first  and  second  class,  so  that  the  steerage  is 
not  all  in  the  bow  and  stern  but  occupies  the  entire  hull.  Of  this,  Sec- 
tion 603  is  located  in  about  the  best :  below  the  second  hatchway  from 
the  bow.  The  kitchens  are  situated,  seemingly,  in  the  bowels  of  the 
ship- — judging  from  the  hour  or  so  it  takes  one  in  the  mess  line  to  arrive 
there,  and  from  the  odors.  Let  us  hope  that  nothing  will  prevent  our 
being  able  to  carry  our  food  up  on  deck,  to  eat  it  there. 
****** 

On  Board  A  Week. 
The  weather  has  been  almost  perfect.  We  might  still  be  on  the  Jer- 
sey City  ferry  boat,  for  any  motion  that  we  have  felt.  And  the  calm  seas 
make  it  possible  to  have  the  hatchways  and  the  portholes  always  open, 
making  our  steerage  quarters  as  comfortable  as  one's  own  home.  From 
tattoo  until  reveille  we  must  be  below,  but  the  other  fifteen  hours  of  the 
day  practically  all  of  the  contingent  are  on  the  decks,  beneath  beautiful 
June  skies.  Every  morning  the  "abandon  ship"  call  is  sounded,  requir- 
ing all  hands  to  assemble  at  the  designated  life  boats  and  rafts.    This 

55 


UNITED   STATES  LAWN  TENNIS  ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

would  be  a  terrible  inconvenience  to  reading  and  card-playing,  did  it  not 
occur  always  at  the  same  hour.  As  it  is,  the  hour  finds  us  within  easy 
reach  of  our  proper  posts,  and  the  affair  is  expeditiously  over  with,  to 
the  relief  of  all  concerned.  We  must  trust  that  the  U-boats  have  been 
advised  of  our  schedule  so  that,  should  they  attack,  they  will  not  take 
us  unawares.  Other  routine  duties  are  Italian  class,  and  setting-up  ex- 
ercises. Of  the  latter,  the  one  that  involves  lying  on  the  back  and  pump- 
ing the  legs  seems  to  be  a  favorite  with  the  instructors.  "Why  aren't  you 
treading  water?"  asked  one,  of  a  man  who  was  lying  blissfully  quiescent 
upon  the  gently  rolling  deck.    "I'm  floating,"  was  the  bland  reply. 

Despite  all  the  ivory,  life-belts  must  be  our  constant  companions.  To 
be — or,  better,  to  be  found  without  one's  belt,  is  a  serious  offense.  So 
that  every  one  clings  to  his  life-belt  with  morbid  tenacity.  To  see  the 
fellows  walking  about  with  the  belts  slung  over  the  shoulder,  or,  getting 
up  from  reading,  reach  for  and  hang  them  across  the  arm,  suggests  noth- 
ing so  much  as  the  constant  companionship  of  the  feminine  knitting  bag. 

The  "Giuseppe  Verdi" — or  "Joe  Green,"  as  the  ship  is  now  commonly 
called — must  be  pretty  well  camouflaged  by  now,  by  all  the  spaghetti 
which  has  been  banged  from  mess-kits  over  the  ship's  side  after  a  score 
of  meals.  "Camouflage,"  and  not  very  good  camouflage  at  that,  is  about 
all  that  can  be  said  of  the  food.  But  it  is  good  practice  for  the  going 
without  which  must  be  expected  before  long.

Genova. 
When  we  turned  out  yesterday  morning  no  land  was  as  yet  visible. 
Shortly,  five  Italian  destroyers  put  in  an  abrupt  appearance,  and  joining 
the  two  that  convoyed  us  from  Gibraltar  made  a  remarkably  pretty  es- 
cort into  the  port  of  Genova.  Lowering  clouds  obscured  the  many  moun- 
tains which  hedge  about  the  city  to  the  very  edge  of  the  sea,  so  that 
almost  without  notice  we  found  ourselves  within  the  great  breakwater 
and  laid  alongside  the  pier.  Some  of  the  men  who  preceded  us 
with  the  staff,  via  the  "Leviathan"- and  France,  were  on  the  pier  to  yell 
their  greetings,  and  to  answer  the  immediate  questions  as  to  the  country 
we  had  come  to — climate,  liquor,  etc.  A  freighter  was  discharging 
United  States  Army  Ambulance  Service  crates  and  boxes — discharging, 
that  is,  by  the  labor  of  the  U.  S.  A.  A.  S.  brawn  and  muscle,  the  best  evi- 
dence that  whatever  we  are  to  accomplish  from  now  on  will  be  achieved 
by  our  own  efforts,  enterprise  and  ingenuity — and  made  a  scene  that,  to 
the  credit  of  America,  is  presumably  typical  of  many  European  ports 
today.  .  .  .  After  evening  mess,  with  all  our  goods  and  chattels 
on  our  backs — all  that  had  been  proof  against  hunger,  that  is, — we  filed 

56 


SECTION  603,  U.  S.  A.  A.  S. 


off  the  ship  and  were  nianoeuvered  into  line  of  march  on  the  pier.  For 
some  time,  crowds  of  people  had  been  accumulating  upon  roofs  and  adja- 
cent terraces.  When  we  set  off,  preceded  by  the  band,  triumphantly 
putting  the  "here"  in  "Over  There,"  it  was  to  march  along  water-front 
streets  where  the  welcoming  crowds  left  little  more  than  a  lane  for  the 
passage  of  our  column  of  fours ;  and  when  we  had  turned  from  the  water- 
front into  the  succession  of  thoroughfares,  little  wider  than  alleys  but 
lined  with  the  venerable  palaces  for  which  Genova  is  famous,  even  denser 
throngs  and  continuous  cheering  and  hand  clappingr  radiant  faces  and 
occasional  showers  of  flowers,  lightened  our  pack  and  exhilarated  our 
step,  despite  the  blistering  heat.  No  one  minded,  however,  ending  up  at 
length  at  the  parade  grounds  of  this  military  barracks,  or  casermo, 
where  we  are  at  present  quartered,  overlooking  the  seas.  Here,  in  hol- 
low square,  we  were  addressed  in  excellent  English  by  a  representative  of 
the  government  from  Rome,  by  the  Italian  general  of  this  district  in  a 
few  words,  and  by  the  United  States  consul  here.  The  two  national  an- 
thems were  played,  and  we  were  marched  up  to  the  top  floor  of  the  cas- 
ermo, where  upon  the  wooden  army  bunks  the  thoughtful  ladies  of 
Genova  had  provided  blankets,  and  sheets ! — and  microscopic  pillows.  .  .  . 

A  canteen  has  been  discovered,  tucked  away  upon  the  ground  floor 
below  us.  The  burning  question  of  the  voyage,  which  left  no  thought  for 
submarines,  of  whether  we  would  be  allowed  liquor  in  Italy,  the  contin- 
gent as  one  man  lost  no  time  in  putting  to  the  test.  When  it  was  an- 
nounced that  we  were  at  liberty  to  "drink"  but  would  be  held  to  strict 
accountability  for  any  abuse  of  the  privilege,  some  two  thousand  Ameri- 
cans made  themselves  at  home  in  the  two-by-four  barroom.  Out  of  full 
purses  for  the  most  part  and  with  the  greatest  of  good  will  for  the  eld- 
erly Hebes  behind  the  bar,  they  proceeded  to  avenge  the  drought  of  the 
long  months  in  the  States — a  tantalizing  task  on  the  beer  and  light  wines 
that  the  place  afforded.  As  for  the  Italians  seated  there,  in  the  decorum 
of  habit,  discipline,  and,  chiefly,  10  centesimi  of  daily  pay,  those  who 
did  not  remain  to  partake  of  the  American  prodigality  were  simply  ex- 
uded through  the  doorways  and  windows  by  the  press.  Little  as  may 
have  been  learned  of  Italian  in  classes  on  the  ship,  "birra"  and  "vino" 
are  now  upon  everybody's  lips  and  breath.  "Quanta  costa?"  will  come 
only  when  diminishing  funds  create  an  interest  in  receiving  change. 
•Just  now,  we  have  no  time  for  it.     .     .     . 

Our  mess  is  prepared  in  kitchens,  in  the  casermo  courtyard — entirely 
of  supplies  that  have  come  with  us  from  America :  canned  stuff,  of  course, 
and  the  army  meats — bully  beef,  pink  horse,  monkey  meat — of  which  we 

57 


UNITED  STATES  LAWN   TENNIS  ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

shall  have  our  full,  of  course,  before  we  get  through,  and  sometimes  not 
that,  no  doubt.  Our  white  bread  irresistibly  fascinates  the  Italian  sol- 
diers, who  seemingly  get  food  almost  as  meager  as  their  pay  and  are 
humbly  grateful  for  our  leavings — save  the  leavings  of  bully  beef.  And 
we  grumbled  at  our  fare  on  ship !     .     .     .     . 

The  courtyard  is  full  of  fine-looking  Italian  armored  cars,  being  pre- 
pared for  departure  to  the  Front.  A  revolving  turret  carries  two  machine 
guns  and  a  third  is  trained  from  the  rear.

In  Camp. 

In  an  encampment  of  tents,  in  a  fold  of  the  up-hill  and  down-dale  sea- 
coast  to  the  south  of  Genova,  we  are  by  now  pretty  well  established  and 
feeling  like  old  residents.  On  higher  ground  about  us  are  variegated  vil- 
las, amid  their  little  parks  of  trees.  A  little  street  of  small  Italian  tene- 
ments below  us  runs  down  to  the  shore  and  what  we  know  as  "fisher- 
town."  From  the  bells  one  is  always  hearing,  there  must  be  a  number  of 
inconspicuous  churches  in  the  vicinity — only  two  of  which  are  visible 
from  here.  To  the  north  of  us  lies  an  extensive  convalescent  camp  of  the 
British  troops  in  Italy.  The  day  we  marched  by  it  on  our  way  from  Gen- 
ova, the  road  was  lined  with  grinning  Tommies,  observing  our  profuse 
perspiration  under  the  noon  sun  with  the  occasional  sally :  "It's  the  'or- 
rible  beer,  Sammy — It's  bound  to  come  out."  A  fine  lot  of  fellows  they 
looked,  and  we  have  already  seen  a  good  deal  of  them.  Some  of  their 
guard  posts  coincide  with  ours.  While  on  guard,  in  the  daytime,  one 
has  an  opportunity  to  hear  their  tales  of  the  war  in  France,  whence  most 
of  them  came  to  Italy,  and  of  the  Italian  front.  They  seemed  glad. that 
the  Americans — "Sammies"  they  call  us  here — are  arriving  in  Europe,  and 
are  almost  pathetically  eager  to  be  told  that  the  war  will  be  over  before 
the  end  of  this  year.  How  can  one  encourage  any  counting  on  an  end  be- 
fore next  year? 

Beyond  this  British  "Con.  Camp,"  our  own  field  garage  where  all  of 
our  cars  will  be  assembled  is  already  showing  signs  of  establishment.  It 
is  alive  with  the  men  who  are  creating  it,  and  with  those  who  are  already 
at  work  upon  the  great  crates  which  the  fleet  of  Pierce  Arrow  trucks 
is  constantly  bringing  from  the  docks  of  Genova.  On  the  docks,  crews  of 
men  are  disinterring  the  crates  from  the  hatchways  and  swinging  them 
on  to  the  trucks.  The  truck,  department  has  already  organized  its  corps 
of  drivers,  and  has  its  organization  of  mechanics  to  keep  the  trucks  in 
condition.  At  the  field  garage  is  a  gang  that  is  rapidly  becoming  as  ex- 
pert as  professional  moving  men,  removing  crates  from  the  trucks  over 

58 


SECTION   603,  U.  S.  A.  A.  S. 


an  acre  of  ground.  Other  gangs  are  continually  uncrating.  The  chassis 
and  engines  and  other  parts  fall  into  the  tender  mercies  of  bands  of  me- 
chanics— one  doing  nothing  but  putting  on  the  wheels,  another  engine 
parts,  and  so  forth.  The  elements  of  the  ambulance  bodies  go  to  a  great 
shed,  where  body-builders  build  them  into  the  finished  body.  This,  in 
turn,  is  trucked  by  a  special  crew  to  the  paint-shed,  several  hundred  feet 
long  (perhaps  it  seems  so,  because  I  was  one  of  the  "common  labor"  that 
built  it)  where  it  is  painted,  varnished,  blessed  with  red  crosses  on  the 
sides  and  with  another  (as  an  invitation  to  enemy  airmen)  on  its  top 
and  lettered  with  its  stamp  of  prospective  service: — "Esercito  Ameri- 
cano." 

Meanwhile,  the  best  mechanics  are  testing  the  assembled  chassis.  By 
scores  they  are  lined  up  in  the  inanimate  orderliness  of  the  army  along 
adjacent  roads — as  interesting,  apparently,  as  Fifth  Avenue  shop-win- 
dows, to  the  hosts  of  Italian  visitors.  And  finally,  the  chassis,  tested  and 
re-tested,  is  mated  with  the  next  in  line  of  the  bodies  which  are  drying  on 
the  skids  in  the  paint-shed,  and  after  a  last  tightening  of  the  connec- 
tions, the  completed  ambulance  is  ready  for  the  happy  hands  whose  work 
it  is  to  pump  the  tires,  under  a  tireless  Italian  sun. 

Along  with  all  of  this,  the  construction  of  the  sheds,  the  putting  up  of 
the  great  tents,  and  all  of  the  other  work  incident  to  a  field  garage  that 
will  assemble,  and  test,  and  otherwise  handle  nearly  a  thousand  ma- 
chines, are  in  progress.  And  over  in  camp,  its  work  must  at  the  same 
time  be  done:  ever  more  and  more  tents  are  erected,  company  streets 
made,  the  routine  requirements  of  camp  life  such  as  the  eternal  policing 
to  be  attended  to  daily,  and  always,  the  almost  daily  demand  of  an  insa- 
tiable soil  for  the  digging  of  a  new  latrine.  Besides  that,  the  mounting  of 
guards  both  in  camp  and  in  the  field  garage  employs  a  considerable  num- 
ber of  men. 


Our  life  is  not  all  work,  nor  is  the  work  unrelieved  by  distractions. 
Laborers — in  army  as  in  civilian  life — can  be  trusted  to  relieve  them- 
selves. Theoretically,  the  men  are  not  allowed  to  leave  the  camp  save  on 
pass  (which  comes  to  each  man  in  turn  about  every  ten  days)  or  to  go  in 
detail  squads  to  the  field  garage.  Four  times  a  day  streams  the  flow  of 
blue  denims  between  the  camp  and  work  at  the  garage.  The  guards  at 
each  place  prevent  any  great  amount  of  straying,  but  he  who  is  a  guard 
today  will  probably  be  a  laborer  tomorrow  and  can  shut  his  eyes.  And 
there  are  always  the  tricks  of  the  trade.  Men  on  detail  to  the  garage  are 
supposed  to  be  passed  in  and  out  of  camp  only  on  a  squad  pass  in  charge 
of  a.  non-com ;  but  one's  squad  can  always  be  "just  ahead"  or  "just  be-

hind,"  or  one  has  been  put  on  an  individual  detail  and  his  pass  has  not 
come  through  yet.  And  anyway,  few  are  the  guards  who  will  hold  up  a 
man  on  his  "way  to  work"  though  he  is  leaving  camp  alone  and  his  pass 
is  in  his  "other  shirt,"  or  keep  him  out  of  camp  and  deprived  of  mess 
when  returning  from  "a  hard  morning"  or  "hard  afternoon"  of  work. 
Drivers  are  on  permanent  pass  which,  if  they  happen  to  wear  goggles  on 
their  hats,  they  are  almost  never  asked  to  show — so  that  any  one  who  can 
sport  a  pair  of  goggles  can  come  and  go  almost  at  will.  Blue  denims  be- 
ing a  pass  in  general,  and,  if  one  does  not  care  to  change  into  them  from 
O.  D.'s,  goggles — who  is  so  poor,  in  purse  or  spirit,  that  he  can  not  get 
out?  Also,  any  baseball  article  is  an  open  sesame — the  implication  being 
that  one  is  overtaking  a  squad  that  is  on  its  way  to  the  British  recreation 
field,  which  has  been  generously  placed  at  our  disposal  even  at  the  ex- 
pense, sometimes,  of  cricket.  A  baseball,  freely  displayed  while  going 
through  the  gate,  is  not  such  a  great  nuisance  at  the  bathing  beach  a  lit- 
tle later,  or  in  Genova. 

In  Genova,  we  have  of  course  a  good  supply  of  M.  P.'s.  But  as  one  of 
them  remarked,  what  with  the  piling  up  of  errands  to  be  done  for  friends, 
an  M.  P.  has  no  time  left  to  call  his  own.  They  are  supposed  to  walk 
their  beats  in  pairs ;  they  cannot  even  have  the  pleasure  of  each  other's 
company,  for,  separating,  it  is  all  they  can  do  to  keep  up  with  their  com- 
missions. 

We  are  messing  by  battalions ;  our  mess  is  all  that  could  be  asked — 
especially  since  the  mess  officers  have  been  buying  fresh  vegetables  from 
neighboring  markets,  and  the  canned  stuff  upon  which  we  at  first  sub- 
sisted has  largely  given  way  to  them  and  to  beef  from  America.  The  Ital- 
ians, in  this  part  of  Italy,  at  least,  seem  to  have  food  enough,  with  the 
exception  of  meats,  sugar,  and  milk,  and  prices  are  not  high  in  terms  of 
the  American  scale.  The  people  are  used  to  seeing  us  about  now,  but  are 
none  the  less  affable.  Things  on  the  Front  (Italian)  are  apparently  in 
statu  quo.  Our  constant  interest,  of  course,  is  as  to  when  we  will  get 
there.  Two  sections  of  one  battalion  have  left  with  their  ambulances ; 
two  more  are  to  go  tomorrow.  Of  the  Front  in  France  we  get  almost  no 
news.

When  on  pass  the  other  day,  in  a  beautiful  little  town  down  the  coast, 
some  of  us  bumped  into  a  U.  S.  infantryman — an  Italian.  He  said  he 
was  visiting  his  home  on  a  two  day  pass  from  Verona  where  his  regi- 
ment, the  332nd  from  Camp  Sherman,  is  located,  having  arrived  from 
the  States  a  few  days  ago.    Verona  is  within  25  miles  from  the  Front.

Our  battalion  is  in  process  of  departure  for  the  Front,  Section  532 
having  left  this  morning.  The  delay  has  been  due  to  the  belated  arrival  of 
the  freighter,  the  "Susquehanna,"  which  sailed  from  New  York  some  days 
before  we  did,  loaded  with  supplies  and  accessories  for  the  cars.  Those 
responsible  for  getting  the  cars  ready  for  service  have  been  put  to  the 
task  of  improvising  a  great  deal  out  of  nothing,  but  have  done  it  with 
characteristic  American  enterprise.  We  have  formed  the  habit  of  attri- 
buting to  the  non-appearing  freighter  all  of  the  things  that  we  lack ;  the 
salt  with  which  the  mess  is  not  seasoned,  our  bunks,  our  "overseas  caps," 
our  side-arms  and  our  commissions ( !).  But  the  "Susquehanna"  is  in  at 
last,  and  we  expect  to  be  headed  for  the  Front  in  a  few  days.  All  of  our 
details  have  been  called  off  and  the  army  does  not  relieve  one  from  work 
until  the  eleventh  hour. 

*  *  *  *  *  * 

Trust  the  army  to  spring  surprises.  Section  603  is  not  to  go  to  the  Ital- 
ian Front  after  all.  After  all  the  months  since  enlistment,  when  this 
morning  we  marched  over  to  the  field  garage  to  receive  our  cars  we  felt 
almost  entitled  to  consider  ourselves  on  our  way.  BUT — a  hundred  feet 
short  of  the  cars  we  were  met  by  the  Battalion  officers,  upon  their  faces 
the  old  familiar  smile  of  disillusionment,  and  not  knowing  the  reason  we 
were  marched  back  to  camp.  Since  then  we  have  been  told  that  a  requisi- 
tion has  come  from  G.  H.  Q.  in  France  for  some  180  cars  to  be  sent  up 
there  to  serve  with  the  American  Army.  Fifteen  sections,  603  among 
them,  are  to  be  reduced  to  a  personnel  of  thirty-two  men  each  (leaving 
thirteen  men  behind  in  Italy),  to  man  them.  Therefore,  despite  the  'long 
way  round,'  some  of  us  at  least  will  get  to  France.

En  Route. 
September  1.  Sunday.  Section  603's  train  of  12  ambulances,  a  Dodge 
touring  car,  a  Dodge  truck,  a  Pierce- Arrow  truck,  and  a  motorcycle  side- 
car, is  parked,  for  a  noonday  halt,  on  the  shady  side  of  a  square  in  Tur- 
ino.  We  are  really  on  our  way  to  France.  Leaving  Genova  yesterday, 
and  climbing  over  the  sea-coast  mountain  range,  we  have  come  through 
the  plateau  of  Piedmont,  a  beautiful,  fertile  country  for  the  most  part, 
with  hillsides  and  vales  given  over  to  vineyards.  The  route  has  been  cir- 
cuitous— instead  of  following  valleys  as  in  America,  meandering  from 
hill-top  to  hill-top  to  link  the  tiny  towns,  established  there  for  better  se- 
curity and  outlook  so  many  centuries  ago.  From  a  hill-top,  late  yester- 
day afternoon,  we  saw  a  white  cloud  bank,  far  ahead, — the  snow-clad  Alps, 
that  tonight  will  be  our  stepping-stones  from  Italy,  (which  for  us  has 
been  sunny  peacefulness),  into  France  and  the  War.

SECTION  603,  U.  S.  A.  A.  S. 


We  have  parked  for  the  night  by  the  evening  waters  of  Lac  Bourget. 
Last  night  we  rested  along  the  road-side  not  far  below  the  summit  of 
the  mountain  pass  of  Mont  Cenis.  Mounting  thence  amid  the  fields  of 
snow,  and  from  above  the  clouds  descending  with  the  rain  that  fell  from 
them  into  the  valleys  of  France,  we  have  come  through  the  loveliest  coun- 
try imaginable  to  this  lakeside  beyond  the  famous  watering  place  of 
Aix-les-Bains.  The  white  casino  and  hotels  and  tree-lined  streets  are  to- 
day alive  with  the  khaki  of  members  of  the  A.  E.  F.  sent  down  here  to  en- 
joy, in  the  beautiful  south  of  France,  a  brief  breathing  spell  from  the 
Front.  And  surely  even  the  least  susceptible  of  them  must  be  sen- 
sible to  the  loveliness.  If  any,  in  all  our  army,  were  reluctant  to 
make  sacrifices  for  France  he  should  be  led  through  these  coun- 
trysides as  we  have  come.  As  we  pass  through  the  villages  the  girls 
throw  hastily  gathered  flowers  into  our  cars.  Always,  the  child- 
ren are  on  hand — waving,  crying  "Vive  Les  Americans,"  "Vive  l'Anier- 
ique !"  And  young  and  old  alike  sinile — smile,  with  a  community  of  un- 
derstanding that  is  as  simple  and  fundamental  as  it  is  indescribable.  We 
should  be  happy  if  the  sight  of  American  uniforms  brings  a  ray  of  hope 
into  the  war-wearied  and  saddened  life  of  these  little  towns,  so  remote 
from  the  regions  where  Americans  are  now  arriving  by  the  hundreds  of 
thousands.  Of  the  war  there  has  been  thus  far  almost  no  obvious  evi- 
dence, save  in  such  incidentals  as  the  scarcity  of  milk ,  which  is  hus- 
banded for  the  children  and  the  hospitals,  and  in  the  absence  of  youthful 
men  whom  one  might  imagine  to  be  at  work  off  in  the  fields  were  not 
women  alone  to  be  seen  in  them — following  the  plow,  or  tending  the  cows 
and  sheep,  hands  busy  with  wartime  knitting.  Yesterday,  while  par- 
alleling a  railroad  we  travelled  beside  a  troop  train  of  Italians.  Later, 
we  met  a  train  of  British,  moving  northward  as  are  we,  headed  for  the 
Front.  But  though  committed  irrevocably  to  the  descent  which  will 
pitch  us  into  it,  so  to  speak,  around  the  next  corner,  one  can  as  little 
sense  the  battle  line  that  has  been  absorbing  the  thought,  the  business, 
and  the  blood  of  the  world,  as  one  could  back  in  Allentown,  or  Genova. 
Thus  far  it  has  always  been  "over  the  next  hill,"  with  hardly  a  hint  of 
its  reality. 


Yesterday,  toward  evening,  we  saw  for  the  first  time  a  body  of  Ger- 
man prisoners  being  marched  back  from  work.  Today,  as  I  write,  we 
are  halted  in  the  little  town  of  Champlette,  and  here  are  American 
troops — the  313th  Infantry  from  Camp  Meade.  They  have  been  here 
for  the  past  six  weeks.  A  moment  ago,  a  body  of  them  in  full  marching 
order  marched  away  for  the  morning  hike — in  a  pelting  thunderstorm.

AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

Later  in  the  day,  on  hillsides  beyond,  we  came  upon  them  again  as  they 
were  scattered  about  in  manoeuvers. 


We  are  halted  outside  the  walls  of  Toul — which  the  lieutenant  has  en- 
tered to  get  our  further  orders,  I  believe.  Yesterday,  we  came  through 
the  walled  and  moated  town  of  Langres,  finding  it  entirely  given  over  to 
Americans — no  troops,  but  a  number  of  army  schools.  Later,  we  came 
to  Chaumont,  the  switchboard  of  the  A.  E.  F.  in  the  field — for  here,  in  a 
handsome  chateau,  is  G.  H.  Q.  and  in  the  streets  the  come  and  go  of  the 
American  Army.  As  we  waited  in  convoy  column  for  orders,  (we  have 
come  up  from  Italy  on  an  order  to  report  here),  the  streets  became 
thronged  with  people  awaiting  the  passage  of  a  military  funeral — the 
funeral  of  an  American  officer  who  had  recently  married  a  girl  of  the 
town.  Presently,  the  beat  of  the  "Dead  March"  heralded  the  cortege. 
From  Chaumont  to  Toul  there  has  been  nothing  but  military  traffic  on 
the  roads,  American  trucks  and  great  lorries  of  the  British  Flying  Corps. 
The  sun  shines  warmly  this  afternoon.  Yesterday  and  this  morning,  it 
was  cloudy  and  rained.  A  farmer  is  ploughing  a  rich  brown  field  with 
a  yoke  of  horses  and  a  yoke  of  cows.  Still  we  seem  as  short  of  war  as 
ever.    But  Toul  cannot  be  far  back  of  the  Front. 


With  the  cars  of  our  section  convoy  scattered  under  the  foliage  of 
roadside  trees  that  shield  us  not  only  from  possible  aeroplane  observa- 
tion but  from  the  noon  heat  of  a  brilliant  September  day,  we  are  halted 
along  a  road  within  hearing  of  muttering  guns.  A  constant  passage  of 
motorcycles  and  staff-cars  indicates  the  proximity  of  the  army-corps 
headquarters,  to  which  the  lieutenant  has  gone  for  our  further  orders. 
The  rumor  is  that  we  are  attached  to  the  1st  Corps.  Yesterday,. without 
entering  Toul,  we  came  on  to  Nancy,  an  attractive  looking  city  despite 
the  rain  in  which  we  traversed  it,  continuing  on  our  way  northward. 
The  ruins  of  many  of  its  houses  are  an  evidence  of  bombing. 

In  the.  darkness  of  falling  night  we  overtook  a  long  train  of  artillery, 
going  up,  and  when  we  came  to  a  halt  for  a  bite  to  eat  and  a  few  hours 
yleep  in  our  cars  it  filed  by  us  again — the  first  grimness  of  war.  One  of 
the  fellows,  dreaming  in  his  sleep  that  he  was  being  run  over  by  guns, 
dove  from  the  rear  of  his  ambulance  to  avoid  them  and  awakened  in  the 
pitch-darkness  to  find  himself  under  the  horses'  hoofs.  Our  gas-masks 
and  tin-helmets  have  been  ordered  on  us  constantly. 


64 


SECTION  603,  U.  S.  A.  A.  S. 


Our  life  is  still  peaceful  enough,  though  there  is  no  doubt  about  our 
being  in  the  immediate  rear  of  the  Front.  With  at  least  one  ridge  of 
hills  between  us  and  it  to  the  north  of  us,  we  are  located  in  a  deep  val- 
ley, like  the  imprint  of  an  elbow  for  the  bend  of  the  Moselle  River  at  this 
point.  To  the  southeast  of  us,  where  it  semi-circles  beneath  lofty  cliffs, 
are  the  walls,  and  gates,  and  huddled  roofs  and  towers  of  the  small  town 
of  Liverdun.  Southward  is  a  stretch  of  green  meadows  to  the  river- 
banks,  beyond  which  the  ground  slopes  gently  up  to  wooded  hills.  We 
are  billeted  in  one  of  the  few  houses  in  this  valley  bottom.  Before  our 
very  door  flows  a  canal.  Along  the  canal  boats  are  continually  passing 
at  their  snail's  pace,  towed  sometimes  by  horses  but  more  often  by  the 
men  and  women  and  children  of  the  families  that  inhabit  them.  Along 
the  highway,  on  the  other  side  of  the  canal  from  us,  camions  and  touring 
cars  are  continually  passing  to  and  fro,  and,  after  darkness  falls,  truck 
trains  of  munitions,  guns,  and  the  transporting  of  troops  are  to  be  heard 
at  all  hours  of  the  night.  The  atmosphere  of  this  place  is  as  leisurely  as 
the  flow  of  the  canal — save  for  the  come  and  go  on  the  highway. 

Orders  are  strict  against  our  gathering  in  groups  that  could  be  seen 
from  planes — although  the  traffic' of  the  army  has  to  go  on,  for  a  great 
part,  in  plain  sight  of  whoever  flies  to  read.  No  kitchen  fires  or  smoke, 
no  lighting  of  matches  or  burning  cigarettes,  etc.,  are  allowed  after  dark. 
In  the  cellar  of  this  stone  farmhouse  in  which  I  am  writing,  our  kitchen 
has  been  fairly  decently  established;  and  in  a  lean-to  Ave  have  found 
places  for  our  blankets  upon  straw  that  smells  as  if  it  were  as  old  as 
the  war.  But  it  may  be  the  aroma  of  the  French  chicken  roosts 
below  us.  As  every  tree  in  our  vicinity  has  its  ambulance,  (of  oth- 
er organizations),  or  truck  beneath  it,  for  "camouflage"  we  have 
had  to  park  our  cars  in  an  orchard  on  the  lofty  ridge  above  us.  Two 
rumors — among  many — are  at  present  rife  in  the  Section.  One,  that  we 
are  not  to  go  to  the  Front  but  are  to  be  employed  at  a  gasolene  depot. 
The  other,  that  one  of  the  Sections  that  came  up  from  Italy  has 
had  its  cars  taken  away  from  it  and  that  mule-drawn  ambulances 
replaced  them.  A  similar  fate  is  to  be  ours,  it  is  feared.  Of  course,  we 
can  extract  some  humor  from  even  such  a  prospect.  Where  our  cars  are 
parked  we  call  the  corral.  Any  deficiency  in  our  uniforms,  buttons  lack- 
ing, or  a  rip,  is  laid  at  the  door  of  one's  mules.  Fatalities  will  be  given 
a  "muletary"  funeral,  at  which  the  others  will  shed  "mule  tears."  And  at 
last  a  use  has  been  found  for  the  lieutenant's  spurs,  in  the  role  of  an  am- 
bulance despatcher. 

The  man  and  woman  of  this  farmhouse  are  the  kindly  sort  one  likes  to 
meet.    For  the  past  four  years  they  have  probably  never  been  free  from

billeted  soldiers  until  now  it  is  such  a  matter  of  course  that  they  can 
even  make  allowance  for  "the  ways  of  the  Americans."  But  they  are 
quick  to  protest  against  the  slightest  injury  to  their  property  however 
unintentional.  No  doubt,  were  they  less  strict,  the  little  that  they  have 
would  have  disappeared  or  been  rendered  useless  long  ago. 

In  the  hill-side  town  of  Liverdun,  the  narrow  and  miserable  streets 
— or,  rather,  alleys — are  littered  with  the  billeting  and  mess-kitchens 
of  the  soldiers,  French  and  Americans;  and  many  a  turn  and  corner 
is  like  a  painting  of  Detaille.  While  waiting  this  morning,  in  the  tiny 
square  where  a  signal-corps  outfit  has  its  paraphernalia  of  mess,  be- 
fore a  venerable  little  church,  the  doors  were  thrown  open  by  a 
scarlet  clad  beadle,  and  out  straggled  the  scanty  congregation  of  folk 
as  humble  as  those  of  Thrums.  French  soldiers  in  their  faded  blue, 
several  khaki-clad  Americans,  and  the  villagers  in  more  or  less 
rusty  black — worn  for  Sunday  best,  or  for  soldiers  dead,  one  did  not 
know;  with  here  and  there  the  derby  and  tailed  coat  of  a  more  impor- 
tant citizen.  In  this  village  of  little  better  than  hovels,  one  wondered 
where  was  the  house  substantial  enough  for  such  apparel — or  does  it 
come  from  a  clothes  press  that  no  hovel  is  so  wretched  as  to  be  without? 
With  streets  or  alleys  hardly  ten  feet  wide,  and  doing  service  as 
sewers,  the  odors  are  left  to  the  imagination.  In  such  a  street, 
where  a  number  of  us  went  into  a  grog  shop  for  fairly  good  beer  last  eve- 
ning a  bearded  French  soldier  of  middle  age  was  leading  a  group  of  chil- 
dren through  the  pantomime  and  verses  of  "Sur  le  pont  d' Avignon"  with 
the  simple  vivacity  that  accounts  for  the  way  in  which  the  French  have 
weathered  so  much.  There  has  been  little  hint  of  war  at  all — let  alone 
an  "Armageddon" — and,  even  here,  little  of  the  discouragement  of  one. 


Last  night,  heavy  gun-fire  broke  in  upon  sleep — the  first  crash  that 
we  heard,  ripping  through  its  coverlet  at  a  great  rate.  No  doubt  the 
shells  were  all  traveling  the  other  way,  but  this  morning  it  is  rumored 
that  the  shattering  report  was  from  an  ammunition  truck  blowing  up  in 
the  vicinity.  Wre  have  been  here  four  days.  Yesterday,  at  gas-headquar- 
ters we  received  a  mask  inspection  and  a  taste  of  tear-gas — nothing  to 
what  we  had  in  Allentown.  It  is  in  the  air  that  we  shall  not  be  here 
much  longer.    Every  day  it  seems  to  rain  with  great  determination. 


Shortly  after  midnight  of  September  11th  the  cannonading  to  the 
north  became  tremendously  heavy,  and  over  a  wide  front  to  east  and 
west.    The  continuous   flashing,   like   sheet   lightning — the   continuous 

67 


UNITED  STATES  LAWN  TENNIS  ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

rumbling,  made  it  an  electric  storm  upon  the  horizon.  By  four  o'clock 
the  Section  had  received  five  days'  supply  of  "iron  rations,"  and  were 
on  our  way  up  the  long  hill  to  the  cars,  toting  the  paraphernalia  which 
seemed  indispensable.  On  the  hill-top,  as  we  got  our  engines  to  running 
in  the  darkness  of  the  orchard,  the  "electrical  storm"  was  even  more  vivid 
than  before — the  thunder  incessantly  rolling.  Before  dawn  our  cars 
Avere  en  route  toward  the  trenches,  and  as  we  topped  high  ground  and 
daylight  spread,  details  of  our  bombardment  were  visible.  Sharp  breaths 
of  fire  from  the  woods  below  us ;  and  before  us,  everywhere  buoyant  sau- 
sage observation  balloons  we  could  see  as  they  shifted  from  point  to  point. 

The  twelve  ambulances  of  the  Section  set  out  together.  Down  several 
cross-roads,  we  saw  in  passing  long  lines  of  waiting  ambulances,  but  for 
.us,  apparently,  there  was  no  order  that  prescribed  a  halt.  From  one 
cause  or  another  our  cars  were  becoming  scattered.  Though  there  was 
as  yet  little  traffic  on  the  roads,  M.  P.'s  were  forever  re-directing  us,  or 
turning  us  back  (or  turning  their  back — whereupon  we  would  promptly 
sneak  by).  Or  they  would  let  some  of  us  through  and  hold  up  the  rest. 
On  all  sides  heavy  woodland,  primevally  green  from  the  many  raius,  rose 
and  fell  in  hillocks  and  ravines.  Through  one  of  these  a  number  of  us, 
despatched  by  a  chance  colonel  at  a  cross-road  were  soon  traveling, 
amid  a  concentrated  din  that  drowned  the  general  uproar  of  the  guns. 
All  along  the  woods-roadway  the  bank  was  hollowed  into  pits  for  great 
naval  guns,  at  intervals  of  a  little  more  than  a  hundred  feet.  The  blasts 
of  their  continuous  firing  dropped  in  a  deluge  of  pandemonium  upon  the 
passing  path ;  and  the  bottom  of  the  ravine,  which  led  to  and  through  the 
trench  lines  now  deserted,  held  a  close  succession  of  heavy  field  guns 
roaring  even  more  incessantly.  The  northerly  end  of  the  ravine  de- 
bouched into  fields,  which  for  four  years  have  been  "No  Man's  Land" 
and  German  territory.  Here  the  lighter  field  pieces  were  blazing  away, 
in  recently  assumed  positions  with  little  cover.  Beyond  these,  by  the 
road-side,  Section  603  for  the  first  time  came  upon  the  casualties  of  action 
— Marines,  of  the  2nd  Division — and  face  to  face  with  its  work  at  last. 
Here  the  Section  set  its  hands  to  the  work  of  transporting  wounded  to 
dressing-station  and  field  hospital  which  has  been  absorbing  us  night  and 
day  for  the  past  three  days.  Now,  there  is  a  let-up,  and  we  take  it  that 
the  drive,  for  the  moment  at  least,  is  over. 

It  is  impossible  to  pick  up  with  any  assurance  how  successful  our  ad- 
vance has  been — very  successful  it  certainly  was,  to  judge  only  from  the 
columns  of  prisoners  that  began  to  appear  down  the  winding  woodland 
roads  within  an  hour  or  so  of  the  "zero  hour"  of  the  drive,  and  from  the 
distances  forward  we  have  gone  in  our  cars,  with  the  advance  lines  of 
infantry  more  or  less  ahead  of  that.    The  reports  are  that  the  drive  was 

68 


SECTION  603,  U.  S.  A.  A.  S. 


made  on  a  50  mile  front  and  that  everywhere  the  objective  was  attained, 
and  in  our  immediate  front  was  exceeded.  It  is  rumored  that  we  are 
not  far  from  Metz,  and  that  last  night  flames  were  visible  there.  We 
can  only  hope  that  they  are  receiving  there,  and  upon  a  proportionately 
larger  scale,  the  medicine  that  they  have  been  visiting  upon  the  little 
town  of  Thiaucourt,  which  our  advance  has  captured,  and  where  the  Sec- 
tion has  been  working.  The  ruins,  in  which  it  already  lay,  continued  to 
crumble  beneath  the  invisible  blows  of  the  German  fire.  At  first 
it  was  only  practicable  to  get  there  under  cover  of  darkness,  and  over  a 
road  that,  pitted  with  shell-holes,  was  totally  unknown  to  us.  The  com- 
plete opaqueness  of  the  storm-obscured  sky  and  continuous  down-pour 
was  lightened  in  a  measure  by  the  constant  flashing  of  the  guns.  Our 
return  trips  to  the  field  hospitals  in  early  daylight  revealed  the  canopy 
of  strung  camouflage  that  had  shielded  the  road  when  in  German 
hands  now  hanging  in  tatters  from  American  shell-fire.  The  only 
scars  the  Section  received  were  made  by  machine-gun  bullets  through  the 
sides  of  certain  cars  the  first  morning  in  the  fields. 


Before  our  dressing-station,  where  a  road  running  east  and  west  cross- 
es by  bridge  a  road  running  northerly,  we  have  had  the  spectacle  of  a 
vast  army  moving  up,  and  being  supported,  and  victualled,  and  supplied, 
as  it  moves.  The  roads,  comparatively  clear  when  we  first  came  up,  be- 
came almost  immediately  alive  and  dense  with  traffic.  Everything  imagi- 
nable was  forward  bound ;  while  ambulances  and  staff-cars  were  going 
back.  On  every  road  for  three  days,  a  continuous  procession  of  traffic 
moved  to  its  destinations.  On  the  afternoon  of  the  first  day,  the  val- 
ley-bottoms, in  order  not  to  complicate  further  the  congestion  of  the 
roads,  were  invaded  by  tractors  hauling  the  great  naval  guns.  Each  gun 
bore  the  lettering  of  a  nickname  such  as  "Old  Dutch  Cleanser."  One, 
named  the  "Crusader,"  was  being  laboriously  manceuvered  into  the  val- 
ley-bottom to  cries,  appropriate  enough,  of  "For  Christ's  sake,  come 
on !"  When  one  saw  them  sinking  in  the  mud,  the  centers  of  their  toil- 
ing crews,  progress  seemed  hopeless — but  the  next  day  they  were  no- 
where to  be  seen.  Never-despairing  labor  and  enterprise,  and  the  tire- 
less pull  of  the  inadequate  looking  tractors,  had  got  them  into  new 
positions,  where  the  reverberations  of  their  renewed  blasting  are  shaking 
the  bodies  of  our  cars  again,  and  rocking  us  into  snatches  of  sleep. 

In  the  woods  around  about  the  smoke  from  kitchens  can  be  seen.  One 
of  them  is  feeding  a  column  of  infantry  that  is  marching  up,  whose  offi- 
cers are  permitting  a  detour  that  takes  them  by  the  stoves.  The  beef  they 
are  getting  there  is  very  good — I  have  just  had  some.    It  is  amazing  how 

69 


UNITED   STATES   LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

quickly  the  kitchens  came  up  in  the  first  few  hours  of  the  drive,  and  were 
to  be  found  everywhere  and  ready  to  give  of  what  they  had  to  any  comer. 
Coining  along  the  ridge  opposite  and  crossing  over  the  bridge  are  other 
infantry  columns  going  up.  In  another  direction  against  a  fine  evening 
sky,  is  silhouetted  a  train  of  artillery.  Through  the  sea  of  mud  beneath 
the  bridge  toils  the  never-ending  succession  of  trucks,  interspersed  with 
pack-animals  and  mule-drawn  wagon  trains — the  "bete-noire"  of  the  M. 
P.'s  stationed  at  this  point.  When  one  is  trying  to  manoeuver  a  car  in 
a  totally  unknown  spot  which  is  as  black  as  a  pocket  in  the  darkness  of 
a  rainy  night,  but  jammed  with  traffic,  to  be  "bawled  out"  by  the  sud- 
den bellow  of  an  M.  P.  makes  one  see  red  in  the  place  of  blackness.  But 
later  on,  when  the  scene  has  become  visible  to  one's  own  eyes,  one  under- 
stands how  the  M.  P.  regularly  stationed  there,  thoroughly  familiar  with 
the  spot  and  seeing  everything  in  the  darkness,  can  get  "impatient"  with 
the  seeming  stupidity  of  others.  To  the  M.  P.'s  here  I  am  also  indebted 
for  some  of  the  sleep  I  have  had.  They  very  kindly  yank  my  feet  to  wake 
me  for  the  gas-alarms  which  seem  to  have  some  basis,  and  let  me  sleep 
through  all  the  others.  I  never  wake  of  my  own  accord.  Who  can  go  to 
sleep  despite  the  crashing  of  10-inch  guns  and  yet  wake  up  for  a  pop- 
gun or  motor-horn?

The  slackening  of  the  casualties  to  be  brought  in  from  the  Front  has 
put  most  of  our  cars  to  evacuation  work  from  the  field-hospitals  back  to 
Toul,  where  are  extensive  evacuation  hospitals,  from  which  the  subse- 
quent transportation  to  the  base  hospitals  is  handled  by  railroad.  To 
make  the  run  from  the  recent  battle  front  to  peaceful  countryside  and 
towns  is  a  remarkable  experience.  For  some  miles  back  there  is  nothing 
but  the  military  occupation :  the  roads  over  which  everything  has  moved 
and  is  still  moving;  great  pits  in  the  hill-sides  from  which  the  naval  guns 
have  been  moved  forward,  with  their  ammunition  tracks  running  back 
for  miles;  shacks  that  have  housed  men  and  animals,  now  deserted;  vil- 
lages with  not  a  civilian  to  be  seen — only  the  khaki  of  the  Q.  M.  corps, 
signal  corps,  transport  corps,  motor  repair  shops,  and  the  reserves. 
Then — one  is  bowling  along  through  a  peaceful  countryside  where 
cows  are  more  frequent  in  the  fields  than  are  army  vehicles  upon 
the  roads  that  pass  them,  as  if  one's  ears  had  never  heard  the  sound  of 
guns.    It  seems  as  if  one  or  the  other  must  be  a  dream.     .     .     . 

The  prettiest  sight  in  the  air  that  I  have  seen  thus  far  has  just  inter- 
rupted these  notes.  For  some  time,  three  observation  balloons  have  been 
strung  up  the  valley  to  this  point,  the  one  farthest  advanced  being  al- 
most overhead.  A  plane — the  only  one  to  be  seen  in  the  sky  for  the  mo- 
ment— had  been  meandering  rearward  when  suddenly  it  swooped   down

upon  the  rearmost  of  the  three  balloons.  An  instantaneous  white  speck 
appearing  beside  the  balloon  marked  the  leap  of  the  observer  with  his 
parachute,  as  the  balloon  began  to  descend,  being  drawn  down  by  the 
alert  crew  on  the  ground.  Making  no  further  effort  after  this  prey,  the 
plane  came  straight  as  an  arrow  for  the  next  balloon  which  broke  into 
flames  beneath  its  swift  passage,  and  in  a  second  more  it  had  raked  the 
third  balloon  overhead  which  came  down  in  flames  and  smoke  as  the 
plane  continued  its  unswerving  course  until  hid  from  our  outraged  sight 

by  woods  in  the  quarter  of  the  enemy  lines.

The  drive  started  Thursday.  This  is  Sunday — a  beautiful  September 
morning  after  days  and  nights  of  rain — only  three,  but  one  could  believe 
that  a  month  had  elapsed  since  midnight  Wednesday.  And  with  the 
guns  only  distantly  muttering,  battle  seems  very  remote  from  this  field 
hospital.  But  a  few  moments  ago,  a  couple  of  cars  that  had  gone  for 
water  at  a  cross-roads  some  two  miles  back  pulled  in  with  loads  of  casual- 
ties instead  of  water.  A  French  artillery  train,  being  withdrawn  and 
halted  for  a  moment  at  the  cross-roads,  had  been  badly  handled  by  shells 
even  as  our  cars  drew  up  at  the  water-hole.  And  the  peculiar  pity  of  it — 
on  this  compartively  peaceful  Sunday  morning — is  that  the  train  had 
probably  started  back  from  the  Front  last  evening  and  by  now  had  for- 
gotten that  a  war  is  on. 

******  • 

After  several  days  in  the  vicinity  of  Toul,  amid  signs  of  a  general  army 
movement  in  a  northwesterly  direction,  our  Section  joined  the  movement 
yesterday  evening.  Travelling  all  night,  and  running  en  route  the  whole 
gamut  of  an  army  on  the  march — columns  of  infantry,  of  artillery  and 
the  rest,  all  plodding  doggedly  along  in  the  darkness  kilometer  after 
weary  kilometer.  We  are  now  located  on  a  hillside  in  as  desolate  coun- 
try as  I  have  ever  seen,  somewhat  to  the  west,  I  believe,  of  Verdun.  The 
country  is  naturally  desolate,  of  drab  and  drearily  wooded  hills.  In  the 
one-street  village  of  Souilly,  some  distance  in  our  rear,  we  found 
a  bustling  American  army  center;  a  web  of  roads  alive  with  motor 
1  raffic ;  American  engineers  at  work  constructing  the  sidings  of  a  rail- 
road terminal;  innumerable  hospital  buildings,  inherited  from  the 
French,  with  any  number  of  our  ambulances  from  Italy  in  evidence;  and 
drawn  up  along  the  hospital's  platform  was  an  army  hospital  train,  of 
cars  superb  in  appearance  as  Pullmans,  and  a  magnificent  American 
locomotive. 

Truly,  the  business  of  this  American  Front  is  most  impressive,  as  well 
as  the  length  of  the  line  upon  which  it  is  now  established,  and  not  only 
holding  but  carrying  forward.    It  is  a  job  the  Americans  are  over  here 

72 


SECTION  603,  U.  S.  A.  A.  S. 


for,  and  which  they  are  putting  through  like  the  building  of  a  gigantic 
railroad  in  Alaska,  for  instance.  Unlike  the  French  or  English  who  may 
be  thought  of  as  having  marshalled  their  populations  and  settled  down 
to  the  defense  of  their  homes,  before  their  very  doors,  so  to  speak,  with 
a  feeling  of  home  behind  them  to  which  they  have  frequent  recourse  on 
war-business,  furlough  and  convalescence,  the  Americans  are  "out  on  a 
job"  which  must  be  finished  before  they  can  even  think  of  going  home. 
At  the  Front,  and  in  most  of  the  territory  immediately  behind,  they  are 
in  a  wilderness,  save  for  the  remnants  of  a  native  population.  The  very 
shacks  or  larger  wooden  buildings,  of  French  or  American  construction, 
which  are  scattered  through  all  the  depressions  of  this  desolate  territory 
only  substantiate  the  suggestion  of  an  interminable  logging  operation. 
If  yesterday  America  and  home  seemed  far  away,  today,  before  this 
dreary  landscape,  eternally  steeped  in  rain,,  is  it  any  wonder  that  home 
and  America  seem  never  to  have  been  at  all?  And  if  it  seems  so  to  us 
who  have  our  cars  to  protect  us  from  the  rain  and  provide  us  with  sleep- 
ing room,  what  must  it  seem  like  to  those  in  the  trenches,  and  in  the  mud 
in  the  nearby  woods,  up  ahead? 

****** 

A  great  drive  is  on — how  extensive  and  how  successful  no  one  in  this 
little  section  of  it  can  tell.  Since  early  Thursday  morning  (Sept.  26th) 
the  cannonading,  and  the  advance  over  wooded  and  over  barren  hill-tops, 
has  been  on.  Working  at  first  in  the  little  village  of  Brabant,  safely  in 
the  rear,  our  Section  on  the  second  day  was  ordered  up  to  dressing-sta- 
tions almost  impossible  to  locate  in  the  welter  of  unidentifiable  troops 
unceasingly  forcing  an  advance  through  a  totally  unknown  territory  of 
hills  and  valleys.  Where  the  broad  highway  (which  brings  the  staff 
cars  up  from  Army  Headquarters  at  Souilly,  and  the  legion  of  supply 
trucks  and  marching  men  from  the  railheads  in  the  rear)  traverses  what 
was  No  Man's  Land  a  day  or  so  ago,  now  are  great  craters,  large  as  lakes. 
Laborious  efforts  to  bridge  them  permitted  at  most  a  driblet  of  cars  to 
cross  and  proceed  on  their  way.  Northward  from  Varennes,  (ruins  on  a 
hillside — until  this  drive,  within  the  German  lines),  cross-country  roads 
brought  our  cars,  via  a  confusion  of  valleys,  abreast  of  the  advance  that 
had  left  its  trenches  the  day  before. 

But  in  the  turmoil  of  troops  and  transportation  that  were  supporting 
the  fighting  lines  a  little  way  ahead,  it  was  hard  enough  to  learn  what  di- 
vision one  was  in  in  the  midst  of  it  all.  And  it  was  impossible  to  ascertain 
the  location  of  one's  own  destination  from  men  who  naturally  did  not 
even  know  their  own.  If  the  village  of  Very  were  one's  destination,  one 
could  not  be  blamed  for  passing  the  few  piles  of  stones  that  remained  of 
it  without  recognizing  a  village  in  them.  We  thoughtlessly  cursed  the 
almost  impassable  corduroy  road  that  led  on  from  Very  to  Epinonville, 

73 


UNITED   STATES   LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

but  when  the  shells  that  accounted  for  at  least  the  worst  of  its  condition 
began  to  fall  again  fairly  thickly  in  its  vicinity,  and  ours,  we  lost  all  ana- 
lytical interest  in  the  road.  They  even  decreased  our  interest  in  the  sight 
of  lines  of  German  troops,  counter-attacking  towards  us  down  the  slopes 
from  Epinonville.  Our  cars  were  badly  needed  then  and  there — at  a 
dressing  station  that  was  receiving  almost  as  many  casualties  from  the 
immediate  vicinity  as  from  the  lines  ahead,  and  with  full  cars  we  were 
soon  on  our  rearward  way. 

Above  our  heads,  six  enemy  planes,  suddenly  appearing,  became  the 
targets  for  all  the  anti-aircraft  guns,  rifles,  and  revolvers  that  by  any 
stretch  of  the  imagination  could  reach  them,  but  only  one  was  brought 
down,  in  a  field  nearby.  All  afternoon,  all  evening,  and  far  into  the  night, 
we  crawled  against  the  tide  of  traffic  coming  up  the  narrow  and  shell-de- 
molished roads.  Beside  us,  until  we  at  length  left  them  behind,  after  tak- 
ing as  many  as  we  could  on  fenders  and  running  boards,  we  came  upon 
a  long  column  of  men,  wounded  and  gassed.  After  fall  of  darkness,  in 
a  traffic  jam  that  promised  to  last  until  daybreak,  a  voice  sang  out  from 
the  roadside :  "Some  guns  are  just  about  to  start  firing  right  along  here. 
So  don't  be  surprised."  But  it  takes  more  than  that  to  spoil  the  effect 
of  a  battery  of  sixes,  letting  loose  in  the  pitch  blackness  a  few  feet 
away.  And  it  is  only  after  several  rounds  that  a  rank  outsider  can  be- 
gin to  enjoy  the  staccato  commands  and  sharp   flashes   in  the  darkness 

that  seem  to  run  from  gun  to  gun,  as  a  card  topples  over  card  in  a  series. 

•»»♦*** 

Last  night,  driving  back  toward  the  Front,  rare  moonlight  lit  the  road. 
For  a  mile  or  more,  infantry  coming  up  and  given  a  few  minutes'  halt  lay 
in  swathes  upon  the  road,  fallen  in  their  tracks  in  a  sleep  of  exhaustion, 
regardless  of  the  traffic.  The  dark  rows  of  motionless  figures  left  but 
the  narrowest  lane  of  dimly  moonlit  road  through  which  to  drive,  graz- 
ing an  alignment  of  heads  on  both  sides.  One  could  only  trust  that 
none  of  them  projected  from  the  swathes,  for  Gabriel  would  need  a  louder 
klaxon  than  ours  to  arouse  them.  When  a  few  feet  from  our  destination, 
a  sharp  crack  reverberated  from  a  little  ahead  of  us.  So  peaceful  had 
seemed  our  drive  up  in  the  moonlight,  that  it  took  a  second  crack  to  make 
us  think  of  shells.  But  before  a  third  one  we  were  off  the  car  and,  animal 
like,  in  the  questionable  shelter  of  a  road-side  ruin,  whose  few  remaining 
beams  a  good  wind  would  have  brought  down  upon  our  heads.  In  a 
second  all  the  klaxons  in  the  vicinity  were  honking  a  gas  alarm.  Fortu-. 
nately  for  me  it  was  false,  like  most  of  them,  for  when  I  had  cast  my  tin 
hat  aside,  and  got  my  gas  mask  out  and  on,  I  found  that  the  mouthpiece 
conflicted  with  the  pipe  which  I  had  lit  at  the  beginning  of  the  drive  up 
and  long  forgotten. 

74 


SECTION  603,  U.  S.  A.  A.  S. 


Our  car  has  been  working  between  a  slope  of  Montfaucon,  and  the  hill- 
side ruins  of  Varennes,  via  the  few  stones  that  mark  Very  and  the  Pom- 
peii-like vestiges  of  Cheppy.  Last  night,  having  drawn  to  the  side  of  the 
road  to  deliver  in  passing  a  message  at  a  field  hospital  near  Very  the  car 
refused  to  show  signs  of  life  again.  In  the  darkness,  with  no  tools  but 
fingers,  it  was  impossible  to  get  it  going.  A  couple  of  passing  cars  took 
the  load,  and  left  their  only  tool  which  looks  like  a  horse-dentist's  for- 
ceps. So,  presented  with  this  unexpected  vacation,  we  lit  cigars  from 
our  meagre  stock  and  settled  down  to  watch  the  gun-fire  that  was  start- 
ing in  all  around  us.  To  the  rear,  in  the  valley  bottom,  were  crashing 
several  batteries  of  heavies.  The  opposite  hill-side,  from  Very  to 
Epinonville,  was  continually  shot  with  flashes  of  American  75's.  But 
what  we  were  really  enjoying  was  the  prospect  of  much  needed  sleep — 
when,  to  complete  our  peace  of  mind,  a  major  of  the  nearby  hospital  put 
in  an  appearance,  somewhat  troubled  as  to  how  a  gas  alarm  could  be  ar- 
ranged for  during  the  night.  We  made  the  helpful  suggestion  that  an 
M.  P.  who  happened  to  be  on  station  within  a  few  feet  ahead  of  us  should 
be  ordered  to  give  the  alarm,  if  necessary,  by  sounding  the  horn  on  our  own 
car.  AVith  this  little  attention  arranged  for,  we  hastened  to  get  to  sleep 
before  we  should  have  to  decide  how  many  of  the  shells  which  were  be- 
ginning to  arrive  from  the  German  guns  were  passing  happily  over  us 
and  how  many  were  stopping  in  the  neighborhood.  Waking  during  the 
night  I  looked  out  to  see  our  guardian  angel  M.  P.  and  to  enjoy  the  com- 
panionship of  the  field  hospital.  Nothing  was  in  sight.  Hospital  and  M. 
P.  had  folded  their  tents  and  departed. 


Before  dawn  the  heavy  cannonading  was  on  again.  And  when  we 
awoke  we  discovered  that  our  car  was  cheerily  berthed  between  two  enor- 
mous piles  of  high  explosives,  a  reserve  for  the  batteries  below  us,  and 
with  plenty  of  shells  falling  in  the  vicinity.  As  we  worked  on  the  car 
from  beneath  it,  the  M.  P.  who  had  made  his  re-appearance,  kept  us  ad- 
vised as  to  the  bursting  shells'  proximity.  Crash !  "That  was  a  hundred 
yards  away."  Crash !  "Hmph — all  er  fifty."  Then — that  briefest  rending 
of  the  air  that  means  a  close  arrival  .  .  Silence  .  .  "That — was — 
a — dud."  Were  we  sincere  in  our  muttered  wish  that  a  shell  would  re- 
move this  "Blanketty,  blank,  blank,  car"  from  our  unsuccessful  and 
freezing  fingers?  Any  motorist  knows  the  feeling.  At  last,  however,  we 
got  the  engine  running.  And  when  we  saw  the  smoking  field  kitchens 
which  had  magically  materialized  in  adjacent  woods  all  vindictiveness  was 
driven  from  our  minds.  Perhaps  Ave  would  be  still  sampling  the  coffee 
and  flap-jacks  they  were  cooking  for  all-comers,  had  not  the  voice  of  the  M. 
P.  sung  out  facetiously  "If  you  fellows  want  a  car  to  ride  away  in,  you'd

better  get  a  move  on."  As  we  cranked  up,  a  couple  of  wounded  came 
walking  up  the  road,  and  asked  to  be  taken  to  the  nearest  field  hospital, 
a  little  way  to  the  rear,  in  the  ruins  of  Cheppy.  When  we  drew  near  to 
the  hospital,  the  M.  P.  on  station  there  would  not  allow  us  to  stop  .  .  . 
only  to  slow  down  enough   to  let  the  two  wounded  jump  out,   because 

"They  are  shelling  the out  of  this  place" — an  exaggeration,  for  a  few 

rods  out  of  Cheppy  we  were  stalled  at  the  tail  of  a  traffic  block  that 
stretched  away  out  of  sight  toward  the  Front,  and  in  the  half-hour  we 
have  been  here  only  two  shells  have  passed  over  us,  bound  for  that  M.  P.'s 
vicinity  judging  from  the  sound.  Overhead,  in  a  fine  blue  October  sky, 
the  puffs  from  our  anti-aircraft  guns,  white  powder  puffs  of  shrapnel  and 
black  bursts  of  high-explosives,  fall  short  of  a  careening  flock  of  German 
planes.    One  wonders  what  becomes  of  all  the  spent  shrapnel. 


What  sounded  like  another  barrage  was  going  heavily  early  this  morn- 
ing. With  that  of  yesterday,  our  lines  must  be  considerably  beyond  this 
height  of  Montfaucon,  though  the  salient  which  the  Germans  still  man- 
age to  hold  to  the  west  of  us  keeps  their  lines  pretty  close  to  Very  and 
Epinonville.  For  two  days  this  field  hospital  has  not  been  receiving  and 
we  have  been  lying  in  the  woods,  doing,  nothing  but  sleep,  eat,  and  give 
an  occasional  look  to  air  activities.  Yesterday,  three  German  planes 
swooped  down  upon  a  battery  on  the  other  side  of  a  little  glade  from  us. 
They  did  considerable  damage  before  one  was  brought  down  and  the 
others  driven  away.  The  casualties  among  horses  seem  to  have  been 
heavy  in  this  region.  The  roads  are  cumbered  with  them.  One  grows 
tired  of  driving  over  the  same  old  carcasses.  At  night,  traversing  the 
places  where  they  lie,  one  just  about  decides,  "Well,  they've  taken  that 
one  away,  anyhow,"  when  Bump !,  one  is  disillusioned.  Several  flocks  of 
German  planes  have  passed  overhead,  above  the  reach  of  the  birdshot  of 
anti-aircraft  "fowling  pieces" — for  it  looks  exactly  like  gunning  after 
birds. 


The  other  day,  they  started  a  truck  back  with  the  plane  that  was 
brought  down  in  the  woods  near-by.  One  of  the  fellows  passed  the  truck 
half-way  back  to  the  railroad,  and  saw  that  it  was  practically  empty,  so 
much  of  the  plane  having  been  abstracted  en  route  for  souvenirs. 

It  is  not  often  that  a  letter  makes  its  way  to  us  up  here,  though  the

It  is  like  a  flower  blooming  in  a  desert.

Back  at  Varennes — (which  is  the  place,  by  the  way,  where  the  llight  of 
Louis  XVI  and  Marie  Antoinette  was  arrested) — the  Red  Cross  and  Y. 
M.  C.  A.  have  started  to  distribute  newspapers  to  the  passing  traffic,  so 
that  we  are  now  getting  some  of  the  news.  We  have  seen  the  "peace 
note"  of  Germany  and  President  Wilson's  reply.  A  day  or  so  ago,  there 
passed  overhead  on  the  way  to  the  German  lines  score  upon  score  of  our 
planes — in  effect,  an  innumerable,  host  that  filled  the  entire  middle  sky 
like  a  swarm  of  locusts,  whose  droning  drowned  out  all  other  sounds.  We 
imagined  that  they  were  on  their  way  to  drop  propaganda.  Let  us  hope 
it  was  bombs.     At  any  rate,  such  an  array  could  not  fail  to  impress,  and 

depress,  the  enemy.  Within  half  an  hour  they  came  swarming  back  again. 

****** 

We  have  been  left  pretty  far  to  the  rear,  in  the  timeless  routine  of  work 
that  continues  through  night  and  day.  Not  daylight  and  darkness,  but 
whether  it  is  raining  or  not,  makes  the  difference.  Our  car  has  been  our 
"castle"  since  the  mind  of  man  runneth  not  to  the  contrary.  It  is  odd 
how  when  one  is  transporting  wounded  and  dying,  and  sometimes  dead, 
there  is  no  thought  of  the  car  as  sleeping  quarters,  and  yet  when  one  is 
so  using  it,  there  is  no  thought  of  casualties.  One  use  follows  immedi- 
ately upon  the  other.  We  sleep  when  we  can.  We  have  discovered  that, 
seemingly,  in  army  theory,  ambulance  drivers  do  not  need  sleep,  for  our 
cars  are  supposed  to  be  and  often  are,  in  motion  twenty-four  hours  out 
of  the  twenty-four — and  certainly  no  excuse  would  be  accepted  from  a 
man  found  driving  his  car  in  his  sleep.  To  sleep  at  the  dressing  station 
or  field  hospital  end  of  a  run  is  almost  impossible,  because  one  arrives 
only  to  be  sent  out  again.  But  sleep  we  must  have,  therefore  we  steal  it 
by  "lying  up"  for  two  or  three  hours  in  some  evacuation  hospital,  when- 
ever we  get  back  to  one  in  the  night  time.  Yet  I  understand  "checkers" 
are  being  stationed  at  all  the  evacuation  hospitals  to  see  that  the  cars 
start  right  out  again.  God  knows,  there  is  need  for  all  the  transporta- 
tion possible.  It  is  said  that  since  this  thing  started  on  the  26th,  over 
70,000  cases  have  passed  through  one  evacuation  hospital  alone,  and  how- 
many  are  the  dead?  Wherever  a  dressing  station  or  field  hospital  is,  or 
has  been,  is  to  be  seen  (and  I  write  in  all  reverence)  its  kitchen  garden  of 

unpainted  wooden  crosses. 

****** 

Save  for  the  incessant  booming  of  the  guns,  we  are  only  occasionally 
reminded  that  there  is  such  a  thing  as  a  Front  of  battle,  murder,  and  sud- 
den death.    Almost  every  night  is  to  be  heard,  at  some  time,  the  intermit-

tent  droning  of  a  German  plane,  and  the  dull  explosions  in  the  vicinity 
that  follow  the  letting  down  of  its  tail  gate.  Last  night  was  moonlit, 
and  in  the  misty  light  the  German  planes  were  invisible — and  the  faint 
rays  of  the  searchlights  fingered,  in  vain,  the  heavens  for  their  all-pervad- 
ing dronings.  One  fine  day,  our  car  was  standing  in  the  usual  block  of 
traffic  at  Varennes  that  has  come  to  wear  the  hum-drum  peacefulness  of  a 
market-day.  The  world  blew  up  within  our  heads  and  when  we  came  to, 
only  wreckage  remained  of  the  truck  in  front  of  ours.  And  that  shell, 
and  the  ones  that  followed  it,  came  from  an  entirely  impersonal  point 
perhaps  some  fifteen  miles  away. 

We  have  moved  up,  to  work  between  a  dressing  station  on  the  road  to 
Eomagne,  and  field  hospitals  that  stand  on  a  bare  hill  north  of  Charpen- 
try,  marked  today  only  by  stones,  whatever  its  pre-war  signs.  The  mess 
cf  the  divisional  ambulance  company  with  which  we  are  working  is  won- 
derfully good,  a  few  spare  tires  have  come  to  us,  and,  though  we  have  no 
tools  and  the  cars  are  beginning  to  show  signs  of  giving  away  in  spots, 
we  ought  to  be  happy. 

****** 

For  reasons  known  only  to  themselves,  at  least  not  known  to  us,  the 
Germans  have  apparently  picked  on  this  harmless  hill-top  of  ours  as  a 
destination  for  shells  which  they  might  better  carry  back  to  Germany 
with  them.  As  we  neared  it  yesterday,  shells  were  falling  in  the  narrow 
valley  at  its  base,  where  there  is  a  large  horse  corral,  and  not  far  away  a 
rapidly  growing  ammunition  dump.  The  latter  is  perhaps  the  Germans' 
objective.  Everybody  in  sight  had  taken  to  cover  in  the  German-made 
dugouts  that  pit  these  hill-sides,  and  we  came  up,  on  our  side  of  the 
valley,  past  faces  peering  out,  and  among  wounded  horses  which  had 
broken  from  the  corral.  The  shells  continued  to  fall  until  dark,  usually 
in  pairs,  one  landing  in  the  valley  below,  the  other  on  our  hill-top,  in  and 
about  the  hospitals.  Several  men  were  wounded.  One  of  our  cars  was 
awaiting  a  load  in  front  of  the  dispatching  tent,  when  a  shell  covered  it 
with  dirt  and  discouraged  for  the  time  being  the  intention  to  load  it. 
From  across  the  road,  we  saw  tents  being  forsaken  by  Indian-like,  blan- 
keted figures,  and  when  we  drove  over  to  load  for  a  trip  to  the  rear,  we 
were  told  that  all  the  men  who  were  in  a  condition  to  be  moved  had 
moved  themselves — to  ditches  and  other  shelter  that  seemed  more  of 
a  protection  than  tents.  When  shells  are  dropping  about,  with  no  writ- 
ten guarantee  of  immunity  for  oneself  and  a  ditch  is  within  a  few  feet  of 
where  one  is  trying  to  concentrate  on  a  week-old  Paris  Edition  of  the 
New  York  Herald,  it  seems  snobbish  not  to  join  the  fine  lot  of  fellows  to 
be  found  in  it.  I,  for  one,  am  no  snob,  and  I  finished  reading  my   New

York  Herald  there.     Last  night,  the  field  hospitals  vacated  to  parts  less 
popular  with  the  enemy.*     The  ambulance  company  is  staying  on  here, 
which  includes  us.    We'll  teach  them  to  keep  us  in  danger  by  devouring 
each  of  their  good  meals  as  if  it  was  going  to  be  our  last. 
****** 

There  was  the  usual  afternoon  shelling  today.  Speaking  of  the  ambu- 
lance company's  kitchen,  some  of  their  cooks  refused  to  leave  the  prepara- 
tion of  evening  mess  for  slightly  better  protection  in  a  shallow  ditch  dur- 
ing the  heaviest  of  yesterday's  shelling.  So,  from  the  ditch  we  exhorted 
them  not  to  leave  the  omelets  for  a  minute,  and  to  keep  turning  the  toast, 
or  we  would  give  them  hell  when  the  shelling  let  up  and  we  could  leave 
the  ditch  for  supper. 

****** 

They  are  carrying  this  business  of  shelling  on  into  the  night.  Work  hav- 
ing slackened  a  little,  some  of  us  turned  in  at  eight  last  night,  and  were 
just  dozing  off  when  along  came  three  pairs  of  high  explosives — the  first 
live  landing  at  hand,  the  last  singing  on.  Against  the  possibility  of  six 
more  after  the  lapse  of  a  quarter  of  an  hour  (which  is  the  program  they 
have  been  following)  the  ditch  party  or  a  fairly  good  representation,  held 
another  meeting  without  waiting  for  the  call  of  the  president  or  any  other 
officer.  No  shells  arriving  at  8 :15  or  at  8 :30  the  meeting  adjourned.  At 
ten  I  was  awake  in  time,  and  long  enough,  to  count  six  shells  sing  safely 
overhead  (I  wonder- who  started  that  "sing"  idea).  At  two-thirty  I  hap- 
pened to  stir,  and  was  asked  drowsily,  "Is  it  shells  again?" — "Hell,  no." 
When,  at  the  moment,  three  burst  near  enough  to  take  the  words  out  of 
my  mouth — and  bring  my  heart  there.  I  made  no  undignified  haste,  but 
I  found  shoes  and  tin  hat  and  overcoat  in  the  dark  and  most  of  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Early  Kisers  Club  in  the  ditch. 

Our  hill-top  is  fairly  high  and  its  nakedness  of  trees  gives  it  a  singu- 
larly exposed  appearance.  The  floor  of  an  ambulance  is  about  three 
feet  above  the  ground — just  the  height  to  be  best  swept  by  shell  frag- 
ments, from  the  greatest  possible  circumference ;  and  its  body  is  of  card- 
board, protected  by  several  coats  of  varnish.  In  the  ditch,  shallow 
though  it  is,  the  shell  that  hit  would  have  to  have  my  name  on  it ;  in  the 
car  it  could  easily  be  a  shell  not  intended  for  me  at  all.  Once  one  has 
been  awakened,  it  seems  foolish  to  take  unnecessary  chances  rather  than 
walk  a  few  feet. 


♦'During  the  night.  .  .  the  field  hospitals  of  the  Eighty-ninth  Division  which 
were  grouped  together  on  the  same  road  a  kilometer  to  the  north  of  us,  were  shelled 
out  and  forced  to  move  back.  They  took  up  a  new  position  just  across  the  road  from 
us.  The  combined  group  of  tentage,  comprising  seven  field  hospitals,  gave  a  circus 
effect  to  the  otherwise  uninhabited  ridges.  The  "big  show"  was  expected  from  day 
to  day.'     Wade  in  Sanitary — by  Richard  Derby,  Division  Surgeon,  Second  Division. — p.  161

It  looks  as  if  the  big  drive  that  has  been  in  the  air  for  some  time  now 
will  come  off  shortly.  We  have  been  busy  getting  all  casualties  out  of 
the  dressing  stations,  and  since  there  has  been  a  partial  lull  we  have  been 
getting  them  out  of  the  field  hospitals  to  the  evacuation  hospitals.  It  is 
a  long  and  bitter  cold  drive  these  late  October  nights.  Dense  fogs  pre- 
vent one  from  seeing  beyond  the  radiator,  whereas  the  pitch-blackness 
of  even  rainy  nights  is  really  no  bar  to  sight. 


The  drive,  starting  early  November  1st  has  been  on  three  days.  The 
night  of  October  31st  we  were  at  the  Fleury  hospital  at  4  a.  m.  We 
started  on  our  return  to  "ambulance  hill-top,"  in  order  to  be  up  for  the 
beginning.  Through  darkness  and  dawn  and  early  daylight  we  drove 
nearer  and  nearer  to  the  heavy  bombardment  which  had  been  audible  as 
far  back  as  Fleury  (where,  by  the  way,  a  Halloween  Dance  was  just 
breaking  up,  when  we  pulled  in  with  our  load).  It  was  like  taking  the 
Lincoln  Highway  back  to  war.  The  woods  for  some  miles  in  the  rear  of 
the  dressing  station  had  been  filled,  prior  to  the  first,  with  the  batteries 
of  heavies,  and  they  let  loose  with  a  racket  such  as  we  had  not  heard 
since  St.  Mihiel.  The  drive  has  been  a  stupendous  success.  We  have 
gone,  I  don't  know  how  many  kilometers  and  this  particular  spot  is  left 
very  much  in  the  rear  again.  Pretty  bad  the  first  day,  there  are  now 
few  wounded  here,  and  few  coming  in.  After  the  first  day  most  of  the 
wounded  Avere  Germans,  and  practically  all  of  these,  when  questioned, 
stated  that  this  is  the  end,  or  at  least  the  beginning  of  it.  We  know  so 
little  here  as  to  how  things  are  going  on  the  other  fronts,  little  enough 
as  to  this  one,  that  one  doesn't  dare  to  have  an  idea. 


Last  night,  we  were  caught  in  a  traffic  jam  on  the  road,  which  is  in  a 
terrible  condition  because  of  the  heavy  rains  that  seem  to  attend  every 
drive  and  shoot  cars  off  into  the  ditches  continually.  As  we  waited,  an 
extensive  firing  of  small  arms  into  the  air  broke  out  on  all  sides  and 
many  variegated  flares  lit  the  sky.  No  one  in  the  jam  knew  anything  of 
course;  but  it  was  obvious  that  rumors  of  peace,  or  perhaps  of  an  armis- 
tice were  rife.  The  driver  of  a  car  behind  me  said  that  when  he  left  Bar- 
le-Duc  in  the  afternoon,  it  was  being  rumored  that  a  conference  between 
German  emissaries  and  the  Allied  Council  was  in  session  at  3  P.  M. 
French  officers  in  a  tiny  grey  car  immediately  behind  me,  knew  as  little 
as  any  of  us  but  allowed  themselves  some  sparks  of  hope  and  relief.  It 
is  not  surprising  that  after  four  years  they  can  not  make  response  to  the 
possibility  that  a  suspension  of  hostilities  spelling  peace,  is  at  length  a 
fact,  especially  since  all  the  routine  of  war  is  going  on  as  usual,  and  it  may 

83 


UNITED   STATES  LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

be  peace  that  is  the  dream.  They  seemed  more  alive  to  the  possibility 
of  being  hit  by  a  bullet  from  the  indiscriminate  firing  that  was  going  on. 
As  one  of  them  said :  "It  would  be  a  pity  to  have  survived  four  years  and 
more  of  war  only  to  be  killed  in  the  celebration  of  peace."  Altogether, 
it  was  quite  gay  for  a  traffic  jam  in  the  middle  of  the  night. 
****** 

Tuesday,  Nov.  12.  Whatever  rumors  started  the  celebrations  of  last 
Thursday  night,  the  coming  of  the  German  emissaries  to  Marshal  Foch 
(of  which  we  learned  with  certainty  Saturday)  might  well  have  been  a 
sufficient  occasion  for  them.  We  learned,  also,  that; our  troops  have 
reached  Sedan.  Sunday,  we  were  up  before  dawn  to  make  a  run  back  to 
Fleury — a  beautiful  run  through  the  darkness  before  dawn,  dawn  and 
early  daylight — and  found  when  we  reached  Fleury  that  the  terms  of  the 
Armistice  had  been  taken  back  to  Germany  for  action.  On  the  wall  of 
the  receiving  ward  in  the  hospital  was  the  Herald's  account  of  the  Kai- 
ser's abdication !  Yesterday,  came  rumors  that  the  Armistice  had  been 
signed  Sunday  evening,  hostilities  to  be  suspended  yesterday  morning  at 
eleven.  Since  that  time  we  have  not  heard  the  sound  of  guns.  But  no 
one,  in  this  particular  spot,  has  heard  anything  official,  or  that  purports 
to  be  official.  We  are  far  away  from  any  sources  of  information.  We 
were  left  behind  by  the  advance  where  of  course  the  latest  orders  are  now1 
generally  known.  But  we  are  on  one  of  the  main  arteries  of  the  army's 
traffic,  and  yet  no  one  going  up  or  coming  down  knows  anything.  It 
seems  odd  to  us  to  know  nothing  on  such  an  occasion,  when  the  rest  of 
the  wrorld  must  know  not  only  the  fact  but  the  details. 
****** 

November  23. — For  almost  two  weeks  we  have  been  living  since  the 
signing  of  the  Armistice,  in  a  world  no  longer  at  war.  We  have  been 
living  in  the  remnants  of  a  group  of  stone  farm  buildings — where  there 
was  a  dressing  station  the  last  part  of  October,  and  at  the  beginning  of 
the  last  drive.  "The  last  drive !" — and  I  can  write  it  so  and  not  the  "lat- 
est." "Living,"  also,  is  not  an  improper  word,  for  we  bunk  in  rooms 
which,  though  windowless,  and  on  the  second  floor  roofless,  are  at  least  a 
change  from  our  cars.  The  division  with  which  we  were  last  working 
went  the  way  of  all  good  divisions — over  the  hills  and  far  away — and  we 
seemed  to  have  been  left  high  and  dry  by  the  tide  of  w»*  upon  this  Ararat, 
with  not  much  to  do  except  think  and  talk  of  going  home.  Then,  today 
came  the  order  directing  us  to  report  to  the  Third  Army,  which  is  to  be 
the  Army  of  Occupation  in  Germany.  It  is  fair  to  assume  that  this  is  to 
some  extent  a  mark  of  distinction.  Section  603  was  chosen,  presumably, 
because  the  powers  that  be  are  agreed  that  we  did  not  fall  down  in   our 

84 


SECTION  603,  U.  S.  A.  A.  S. 


work  in  the  past.  It  is  senseless  to  speculate  as  to  when  we  will  be  re- 
turned to  the  States,  and  whether  this  new  service  will  mean  an  earlier 
or  later  date.  The  war  is  over  so  much  sooner  than  any  one  figured  that 
no  one  can  complain  in  any  event.  And  who  of  us  dared  even  dream 
that  we  would  not  have  to  go  through  at  least  this  winter  of  war? 

Several  days  ago  some  of  us  heard  of  a  former  German  army  bath 
house  not  far  from  here  that  was  functioning — and  had  a  bath.  Yes ! — 
And  had  our  clothes  off  too — for  the  first  time  in — well,  it  is  inadvisable 
to  mention  how  many  weeks.  As  for  cooties — now  that  one  isn't  being 
continually  interrupted  by  a  world  war,  one  can  really  begin  to  handle 
the  situation,  ( handle  is  the  right  word )  and  feel  that  he  is  making  some 
headway.  I  for  one  intend  to  fight  it  out  on  this  line  if  it  takes  all  win- 
ter.

The  paragraph  above  marks  the  end  of  the  extracts  taken  from  the 
records  in  which  were  quoted  the  most  significant  experiences  of 
Section  603  during  the  two  major  operations  in  which  it  was  en- 
gaged. It  was  one  of  the  four  sections  designated  to  go  into  Germany 
with  the  Third  Army,  and  on  November  24th  started  to  report  to  its 
headquarters.  The  Section  remained  at  Longwy  for  twenty-three  weeks 
when  it  was  ordered  to  report  at  Trier.  From  Trier  it  went  to  Prum  on 
December  17th  where  it  remained  throughout  the  winter.  On  March 
17th,  1919,  it  was  sent  back  through  Trier  to  Toul  where  by  a  strange 
coincidence  it  had  been  exactly  six  months  before.  On  March  18th,  by 
way  of  Chaumont,  it  went  to  Joinville,  which  place  it  left  on  April  1st 
under  orders  to  proceed  to  Romorantin,  to  turn  in  its  cars.  It  arrived 
there  on  April  3rd,  and  left  there  for  Brest  on  Friday,  the  4th,  in  box 
cars.  From  Brest  the  Section  sailed  on  April  19th  on  board  the  U.  S.  S. 
"Koenig  der  Nederlander"  which  landed  it  safely  at  Newport  News  the 
first  of  May.  From  here  the  Section  was  ordered  to  Camp  Lee  for  dis- 
charge.

CHAPTER  IX 

EVACUATION  AMBULANCE  COMPANY  NO.  8. 

Sergeant  Whipple  Jacobs'  story   of   Evacuation  Ambulance    Company 
Xo.  8  in  France,  and  other  notes  by  Sergeant  Homer  L.  Sivainey. 

The  formation  of  Evacuation  Ambulance  Company  No.  8  was  author- 
ized by  a  letter  from  the  Adjutant  General  of  the  Army,  dated  March  6, 
1918,  and  it  was  on  March  18,  1918,  it  was  organized  at  Camp  Crane, 
Allen  town,  Pa.  First  Lieut.  John  B.  Garyey,  A.  A.  S.,  was  assigned  to 
command  on  that  date.  The  personnel  were  transferred  from  Section 
No.  572,  A.  A.  S.,  one  of  the  ambulance  sections  recruited  and  backed  by 
the  U.  S.  L.  T.  A.  The  Association  provided  a  section  fund  which  was 
used  for  special  personal  equipment  for  the  men,  also  chocolate,  cigar- 
ettes and  toilet  articles,  and  extras  for  the  mess. 

The  period  from  March  18,  1918,  to  July  18,  1918,  was  spent  in  equip- 
ping the  men,  selecting  non-commissioned  officers,  cooks,  mechanics, 
etc.,  foot  drill  and  other  training  activities,  and  in  a  thorough  course  of 
instruction  in  driving  and  repairing  Ford  ambulances  and  Packard 
trucks.  The  company  quickly  made  a  name  for  itself  for  promptness, 
neatness  and  ability,  and  were  complimented  on  several  occasions  by  the 
commanding  officers  of  the  battalion  to  which  they  were  attached  for  in- 
struction. 

On  July  6th  the  glad  news  of  "overseas  orders''  was  received.  On  the 
8th  the  company  entrained  at  Allentown ;  it  reached  the  Hoboken  docks 
in  the  early  morning  of  the  9th.  The  only  feature  to  mar  the  departure 
was  the  loss  of  "Bill"  Guthrie,  one  of  the  original  tennis  men.  "Bill" 
failed  on  the  last  physical  examination,  and  had  to  stay  behind  and  un- 
dergo an  operation.  Subsequently  he  went  overseas  with  Evacuation 
Ambulance  Co.  No.  9  and  did  evacuating  work  at  one  of  the  base  ports 
in  France. 

At  5 :50  P.  M.  on  the  9th  of  July  the  company  sailed  from  New  York 
harbor  on  the  U.  S.  Transport  "Orizaba."  The  trip  over  was  very  pleas- 
ant, but  not  exciting.  The  only  unfortunates  were  Sgt.  Woodside, 
Brooks,  Geldert  and  Mellen,  who  had  slight  cases  of  "mal  de  mer." 

The  ship  landed  at  Brest,  France,  late  in  the  afternoon  of  the  18th, 
and  the  night  was  spent  at  Pontenasen  Barracks,  outside  the  city.  The 
stop  here  was  of  interest  in  that  it  was  the  scene  of  the  First  Napoleon's 
military  training.  From  July  19th  to  the  23rd  the  company  rested  up 
and  got  rid  of  its  "sea  legs." 

On  the  morning  of  the  23rd  the  journey  was  continued,  orders  having 
beon  received  to  proceed  to  La  Pallice,  France.  The  trip  was  made  in 
the  famous  "40  homines  or  8  chevaux"  freight  cars.     The  ride  was  witb- 

87

AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

out  incident  and  on  the  afternoon  of  the  24th  the  company  detrained  at 
Base  Port  No.  7,  one  of  the  latest  ports  taken  over  by  the  A.  E.  F. 

During  a  week  spent  here  nearly  every  man  had  a  chance  to  visit  La 
Rochelle,  about  three  miles  down  the  coast.  Many  good  meals  purchased 
in  the  numerous  cafes  and  a  visit  to  the  Tower  of  the  Four  Sergeants 
were  the  most  notable  events.  The  first  casualty  was  registered  when 
"Sid"  Marks,  in  a  critical  condition,  was  sent  to  a  base  hospital. 

On  the  31st  the  company  left  La  Pallice  for  St.  Aignan-Noyers,  the 
Headquarters  of  the  First  Depot  Division.  This  trip  was  also  made  in 
box  cars.  Samur  and  Tours  were  the  principal  cities  passed  through  en 
route,  but  of  course  there  was  no  chance  to  see  them.  At  St.  Aignan  the 
war  was  brought  a  little  closer  as  the  classification  camp  was  full  of 
"doughboys"  who  had  been  wounded  and  were  on  their  way  back  to  join 
their  companies.  Another  casualty  was  registered  when  "Bob"  Allison 
was  sent  to  the  hospital.  Strange  to  say,  Allison  and  Marks  were  the 
only  men  sent  to  the  hospital.  When  the  company  got  into  action  every 
man  stayed  on  the  job  to  the  bitter  end. 

On  August  3,  1918,  the  motor  transportation,  consisting  of  12  G.  M.  C. 
ambulances  and  one  Indian  motorcycle  and  sidecar,  was  issued,  and  on. 
the  4th  the  real  journey  toward  the  Front  was  begun.  The  route  led 
through  Blois  and  Chartres.  The  trip  was  very  interesting  and  com- 
fortable, being  made  in  the  cars.  The  roads  were  in  perfect  condition. 
This  condition  was  never  encountered  on  subsequent  rides.  Versailles 
was  reached  about  midnight,  and,  parking  the  cars  in  the  Palace 
grounds,  the  men  threw  litters  on  the  ground  and  got  as  much  sleep  as 
possible.  At  daybreak  everyone  was  routed  out,  and  soon  were  driven 
through  Paris.  We  drove  past  the  Seine  River  and  the  Eiffel  Tower, 
now  a  giant  wireless  station,  to  the  Place  de  la  Concorde,  then  on  into 
the  suburb  of  St.  Denis,  where  there  was  a  motor  repair  unit. 

August  5th  and  the  morning  of  the  6th  were  spent  in  seeing  Paris  while 
the  mechanics  from  the  motor  park  overhauled  the  cars.  During  the 
stay  here  "Big  Bertha"  was  on  the  job  about  every  half  hour,  but  none 
of  the  shells  dropped  near  St.  Denis.  The  guide  of  the  convoy  brought 
back  a  piece  of  shell  that  had  exploded  in  the  Place  de  la  Concorde  a  few 
minutes  before  he  got  there.  At  noon  on  the  6th  the  journey  was  con- 
tinued. Across  the  Marne,  which  was  a  disappointment  in  that  it  was 
hardly  more  than  a  creek,  but  where  one  could  not  help  but  be  thrilled  at 
the  thought  that  at  this  point  France  had  twice  staved  off  defeat;  through 
Meaux,  where  the  first  Battle  of  the  Marne  was  fought,  and  where  the 
first  sign  of  a  modern  battlefield  was  afforded.  Arriving  at  its  destina- 
tion, Chateau  la  Trousse,  the  company  reported  to  Mobile  Hospital  No.  2, 

88 


EVACUATION  AMBULANCE   COMPANY  NO.   8 

but  as  the  hospital  was  all  packed  and  ready  to  move,  no  work  was  in 
sight. 

After  a  two-day  rest  the  company  left  with  the  hospital  for  Coincy,  a 
small  village  between  Chateau  Thierry  and  the  Vesle,  which  only  three 
short  weeks  before  had  witnessed  the  passage  of  the  victorious  Ameri- 
cans during  their  first  real  battle.  On  this  trip  some  of  the  effects  of  the 
war  were  seen.  The  roads  and  fields  were  dotted  with  shell  holes,  and 
there  were  numerous  barbed  wire  entanglements  zigzagging  across  the 
country.  Several  dead  animals  killed  by  stray  bullets  or  shells  and  for- 
gotten in  the  rush  of  victory,  lay  unburied  by  the  roadside. 

The  town  of  Chateau  Thierry  was  a  real  ruin.  Nearly  every  building 
bore  some  mark  of  the  fighting.  The  natives  were  just  beginning  to  come 
back  and  start  a  semblance  of  housekeeping.  It  was  a  most  pathetic 
sight  to  see  them  poking  among  piles  of  brick  and  stone  that  had  once 
been  their  homes,  vainly  looking  for  something  as  a  remembrance  of  their 
former  life. 

At  Coincy,  where  camp  was  established  before  night,  the  company 
pitched  their  tents  and  parked  the  cars  in  a  strip  of  woods  at  the  top  of 
a  hill.  It  was  hardly  a  pleasant  location,  as  the  last  occupants  had  pick- 
eted their  animals  in  it,  and  along  one  side  ran  a  German  trench  into 
v*  hich  some  of  its  defenders  had  been  thrown  and  only  partly  covered  up. 
Two  days  were  spent  in  making  the  place  habitable.  Here  was  the  first 
chance  for  souvenirs,  and  the  Americans  are  famous  for  their  souvenir 
hunting.  It  kept  the  boys  busy  deciding  what  to  keep  and  what  to  leave. 
Here,  also,  they  saw  real  active  service,  the  job  for  which  they  had  been 
training  eight  months.  The  nights  were  spent  carrying  patients  back 
from  the  triage,  Field  Hospital  Section,  77th  Division,  above  Fere  en  Tar- 
denois,  to  Coincy,  and  the  days  from  Coincy  to  the  railhead  at  Chateau 
Thierry. 

Sgt.  Woodside  had  an  exciting  time  looking  for  the  field  hospital  one 
night.  He  got  lost,  and  before  he  realized  it  he  was  nearly  in  Fismes, 
where  a  big  battle  for  the  possession  of  the  town  was  in  progress.  Pitch 
dark  and  on  unknown  roads  he  had  a  bad  hour  and  a  half.  Most  of  this 
time  he  had  to  wear  his  respirator  as  a  protection  against  the  mustard 
gas  the  Germans  were  pouring  onto  our  men.  He  finally  found  the  right 
road  and  wasted  no  time  in  getting  back  to  a  safer  place. 

On  August  20th  orders  were  received  to  go  to  Toul,  and  following  the 
route  through  Montmirail,  St.  Dizier,  Chalons,  and  Condrecourt,  the 
men  had  another  opportunity  to  see  the  country.  The  first  station  in 
the  Toul  Sector  was  at  Sorcy,  almost  directly  south  of  the  tip  of  the  St. 
Mihiel  salient,  where  they  stayed  from  August  22nd  to  September  2nd.

Although  very   close  to  the  front  line,   it  was  uneventful  as  the  fight- 
ing had  not  yet  started  here.     A  pleasant  occurrence  at  this  place 


>» 


was  the  return  of  Allison.  He  came  back  through  "military  channels 
and  had  spent  two  weeks  looking  for  the  company.  His  account  of  his 
adventures  in  Paris  and  other  points  made  every  one  feel  it  wasn't  so 
bad  to  be  sick  after  all.  Marks,  the  other  wanderer,  came  back  a  week 
later,  making  the  family  complete. 

The  company  was  next  ordered  to  Dieulouard  with  the  First  Army 
artillery  units.  Dieulouard,  just  south  of  Pont-a-Mousson  on  the  Toul- 
Metz  road,  while  never  in  German  hands,  had  been  in  the  danger  zone 
and  under  shell  fire  during  the  entire  war.  At  that,  most  of  the  inhabi- 
tants had  remained,  and  the  stores  did  a  flourishing  business  in  what 
few  edibles  they  had. 

The  company  stayed  here  during  the  St.  Mihiel  drive,  and  dicf  some 
splendid  work.  All  the  driving  was  at  night,  the  cars  working  from 
dressing  station  to  field  hospital  and  then  back  to  the  big  hospital  cen- 
ters at  Toul  and  Nancy.  The  big  guns  were  all  around  the  hospitals, 
and  the  observation  balloons  only  a  short  distance  ahead.  Many  air  bat- 
tles were  seen,  and  the  anti-aircraft  guns  were  at  it  all  the  time.  An 
American  balloon  was  attacked  one  afternoon;  the  plane  dived  and 
missed ;  the  Americans  jumped  out  of  the  basket,  and  with  the  aid  of 
their  parachutes,  landed  safely;  the  plane  looped  the  loop,  dived  again, 
and  then  returned  to  its  lines  in  safety,  while  the  balloon  burst  into 
tlames. 

Every  night  there  was  a  gas  alarm,  and  sometimes  as  many  as  three. 
It  was  not  a  very  pleasant  place  to  sleep,  and  to  make  things  worse,  af- 
<er  the  offensive  was  over  and  the  positions  were  being  consolidated,  thb 
Germans  started  to  shell  the  town.  The  first  morning  it  started  all  the 
men  rushed  out  of  the  billets.  They  stood  in  the  open  listening  to  the 
shells  whistle  overhead,  and  entirely  forgot  that  it  was  a  very  dangerous 
place.  Only  seven  shells  came  over  and  then  it  quieted  down  again.  The 
same  night,  however,  the  shelling  started  again.  The  first  shell  wounded 
four  men  down  on  the  main  street,  and  an  ambulance  was  sent  out  to 
take  them  to  the  field  hospital  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  up  the  road.  For 
an  hour  the  shells  struck  some  place  nearby  every  four  minutes,  but  no 
more  casualties  were  reported.  After  a  rest  of  an  hour  it  started  again. 
The  first  shell  struck  a  billet  about  one  hundred  yards  from  where  the 
cars  were  parked,  killing  one  man  and  wounding  four  more,  one  of  whom 
died  the  next  day.  Sgt.  Jacobs,  Barber  and  Monroe,  who  were  on  duty 
took  a  car  down  at  once.  All  the  men  who  had  been  in  the  billet  were 
nervous  and  badly  shaken  up,  so  the  three  took  charge.    Just  as  the  pa- 

91 


UNITED   STATES   LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

tients  were  ready  to  be  brought  out  of  the  dugout,  where  a  medical  offi- 
cer was  giving  them  first  aid,  a  shell  struck  within  five  feet  of  the  front 
of  the  ambulance.  Sgt.  Jacobs  was  standing  by  the  wheel,  and  Monroe 
was  right  behind  him,  and  yet  neither  was  hurt.  It  seemed  almost  a  mir- 
acle. As  Monroe  said  afterwards,  "I  guess  they  had  our  names  all  right, 
but  they  were  spelled  wrong." 

The  radiator,  fenders  and  headlights  were  literally  torn  to  pieces,  tne 
top  and  sides  bore  marks  of  the  explosion,  and  only  one  tire  remained 
without  a  puncture.  After  they  recovered  from  the  shock,  Monroe  hur- 
ried back  and  brought  down  another  machine  in  which  to  take  the  pa- 
tients to  the  hospital.  Coming  back  a  shell  whistled  over,  but  it  was 
only  a  "dud."    That  ended  the  excitement  for  the  night. 

The  next  two  nights  the  town  was  shelled  again.  Several  shells  fell 
within*  a  short  distance  of  the  billets,  pieces  of  one  flying  into  one  of  the 
rooms,  but  no  more  damage  was  recorded. 

The  next  station  of  the  company  was  at  Fleury  s  Aire,  with  Red  Cross 
Military  Hospital  No.  114,  where  it  arrived  on  September  22nd.  On 
September  26th  when  the  big  Argonne-Meuse  offensive  started  it  im- 
mediately went  to  work.  During  the  first  thirty  days  of  this  offensive 
over  6,500  patients  were  hauled.  To  do  this  meant  plenty  of  night  work 
and  long  hours.  Several  times,  all  the  cars  worked  thirty-six  and  forty- 
eight  hours  at  a  stretch.  Although  stationed  at  Fleury  a  number  of 
trips  were  made  to  Claremon,  Varennes,  Buzancy  and  Verdun,  and  to  a 
field  hospital  in  the  Argonne.  On  one  such  trip  Geldert  came  to  a  place 
in  the  road  the  Germans  had  mined  and  blown  up.  The  hole  was  so  big 
that  traffic  was  held  up.  A  detail  of  negroes  from  a  labor  battalion  was 
carrying  all  the  light  cars  across,  but  the  heavy  ones,  which  included 
the  G.  M.  C,  had  to  wait  until  the  engineers  built  a  road  around  it. 
"Duke"  Moore,  who  had  the  knack  of  making  a  wornout  motorcycle  run 
without  either  new  parts  or  tools,  outdid  himself  in  what  he  termed  his 
garage  "pour  motorcyclettes,  Indian,  blesses  et  malades"  in  order  to 
make  his  semi- weekly  trip  for  the  mail./ 

Several  times  when  there  was  a  lull  in  activities  the  "jazz"  band 
played  for  the  patients  at  the  hospital.  Even  though  it  deprived  them 
of  much  needed  rest  they  were  fully  repaid  by  the  pleasure  it  gave  the 
lads  who  were  badly  wounded  and  lonesome.  Late  in  October  when  the 
battle  front  had  left  Fleury  far  in  the  rear  the  company  put  on  a  min- 
strel show.  Lieut.  Harry  F.  Humphries  of  the  American  Red  Cross  was 
responsible  for  getting  the  show  up  and  "putting  it  over."  An  audience 
composed  of  nurses,  officers  and  enlisted  men  greeted  every  act  with  en- 
thusiasm. The  acts  consisted  of  jokes  by  the  end  men,  Lt.  Humphries 
and  McBride,  several  choruses,  and  special  acts  by  Sgt.  Woodside,  Sgt. 

92 


EVACUATION   AMBULANCE   COMPANY  NO.   8 

Swainey,  Lutzen,  McGarvey  and  McGuirk.  The  show  was  a  great  hit 
and.  all  wished  that  Humphries  would  stay  with  the  company  and  help 
put  on  more  events  of  the  kind.  There  was  even  some  talk  of  being  de- 
tailed to  the  Red  Cross  to  tour  the  A.  E.  F.  hospitals  for  the  purpose  of 
entertaining  the  patients. 

Then  on  November  11th  came  the  big  day,  "der  tag"  that  all  had  been 
working  for.  It  is  useless  to  try  to  describe  such  a  day.  Suffice  to  say  that 
"Armistice  Day"  was  properly  and  loudly  celebrated.  One  incident  wor- 
thy of  mention  was  the  picture  of  a  German  prisoner  of  war  and  his 
French  guard  locked  in  each  other's  arms,  all  enmity  forgotten  in  their 
joy- 
On  the  21st  the  company  was  ordered  to  join  the  Army  of  Occupation 
reporting  to  the  7th  Army  Corps  at  Dun  s  Meuse.  The  journey  led 
through  Verdun  and  up  tlie  Meuse  Highway.  This  was  a  wonderful  op- 
portunity to  see  what  our  Army  had  done  to  the  Germans,  during  the  last 
big  offensive.  The  sight  was  astonishing  and  appalling.  The  fields 
looked  as  if  they  had  had  the  smallpox,  they  were  so  pitted  with  shell 
holes.  All  the  buildings  along  the  route  were  a  mass  of  ruins.  A  sharp 
contrast  noted  in  Verdun  was  a  glimpse  of  a  lace  curtain  peeping  out 
from  a  window  in  a  ruined  house. 

At  Virton,  -Belgium,  which  was  the  next  stop,  all  were  impressed  with 
the  hospitality  of  the  people.  Poor  Belgians !  They  were  so  glad  to  be 
rid  of  the  Germans  that  nothing  was  too  good  for  the  American  soldiers, 
and  their  scanty  food  stores  were  placed  at  the  Americans'  disposal. 
The  representatives  of  the  United  States  who  had  fed  them  during  the 
war,  and  now  had  liberated  them  from  four  years  of  slavery,  were  given 
a  wonderful  reception. 

After  a  few  days  here  we  left  for  Longwy,  on  November  27th,  one  of 
the  big  coal  and  iron  centers  of  France,  which  was  liberated  by  the  Ar- 
mistice. For  two  weeks  we  evacuated  American,  French  and  German 
patients  to  the  hospitals  at  Verdun.  When  this  was  finished  we  pro- 
ceeded on,  spending  a  few  days  in  the  Grand  Duchy  of  Luxembourg,  and 
then  on  to  Wittlich,  Germany,  about  ninety  kilometers  from  Coblentz. 
This  was  the  company's  station  from  December  16th  until  the  end  of  the 
year. 

A  big  celebration  took  place  on  Christmas.  Of  course  every  man  was 
thinking  of  home  about  then,  but  a  good  time  took  their  minds  off  that 
for  the  moment  and  all  enjoyed  it.  First  everyone  was  put  into  good 
humor  by  a  clever  hoax  perpetrated  on  Sgt.  Jacobs.  While  the  Christmas 
dinner  was  browning  in  the  oven  Sgt.  Woodside  ordered  the  company  to 
"fall  in,"  explaining  that  the  colonel  had  ordered  them  to  appear  at  the

hospital.  Everyone  was  "wise"  but  Jacobs,  and  fell  in,  grumbling  as 
usual.  Jacobs  busied  himself  getting  the  men  into  line  and  seeing  that 
they  looked  neat.  All  assembled,  they  were  given  a  couple  of  "squads 
east  and  squads  west,"  "to  put  up  a  good  appearance  before  the  colonel." 
Sgt.  Woodside  announced  that  he  would  need  a  special  detail  at  the  hos- 
pital, and  some  previously  designated  men  volunteered,  and  were  put  at 
the  left  of  the  company. 

Here  Woodside  gravely  announced  that  Sgt.  Jacobs  and  Wagoner 
Monroe  had  been  awarded  the  D.  S.  C.  for  bravery  under  fire  at  Dieu- 
louard.  Jacobs  fell  hard !  When  ordered  "front  and  center,"  he  did  it 
in  correct  military  style,  trying  vainly  to  appear  at  ease.  Monroe  step- 
ped up  beside  him.  Sgt.  Woodside :  "Detail  forward  march."  "Column 
right,  march."  And  the  detail  marched  past  the  company  blowing  on 
toy  horns  and  beating  toy  drums.  Jacobs  finally  "caught  on,"  and 
blushed  profusely.  After  the  band  had  returned  to  their  place,  the  bugle 
sounded  "taps,"  Sgt.  Woodside  embraced  Jacobs  and  Monroe  in  turn, 
in  the  most  approved  French  style,  and  pinned  on  a  miniature  iron  cross 
bearing  a  portrait  of  the  kaiser.  This  was  followed  by  a  good  dinner 
which  consisted  of  roast  young  pig,  steak,  mashed  potatoes  with  gravy, 
buttered  beets,  cake  and  cookies,  candy  and  nuts,  coffee,  cigarettes 
and  cigars.    Everyone  ate  until  lack  of  space  forced  them  to  stop. 

And  now  the  year  1918  is  ended.  The  men  who  came  over  are  all  pres- 
ent and  well.  All  the  ambulances  are  running  although  they  have  been 
driven  over  15,000  miles  under  the  most  trying  conditions,  ( for  this  much 
credit  is  due  the  mechanics),  and  in  three  weeks  the  first  war  service 
chevron,  signifying  six  months'  foreign  service  will  be  awarded. 

January  was  spent  in  Wittlich  and  Brucha  "dorf"  about  ten  kilome- 
ters from  the  former  town.  On  February  first,  having  been  relieved  from 
duty  with  the  Third  Army,  the  company  left  for  Rimaucourt,  France, 
for  duty  with  the  advance  section  S.  O.  S.  The  trip  was  made  during 
the  only  cold  spell  of  the  winter  but  frequent  stops  were  made  which  en- 
abled every  one  to  keep  comfortably  warm.  The  route  followed  was  sub- 
stantially the  same  as  going  up. 

At  Rimaucourt,  where  there  was  a  base  hospital  center,  we  were  as- 
signed to  very  comfortable  quarters.  It  was  generally  understood  that  in 
a  very  short  time  the  cars  would  be  allotted  to  other  units  and  the  com- 
pany would  get  its  orders  home.    That  suited  everyone. 

The  jazz  band  added  to  their  laurels  by  playing  at  the  Red  Cross  en- 
tertainments and  for  several  dances. 

A  number  of  trips  about  the  country  were  made.  Chaumont,  the  home 
of  G.  H.  Q.,  Langres,  Dijon,  Toul,  and  Nancy  were  among  the  most  im- 
portant towns  visited. 

95

Late  in  March  orders  were  received  putting  the  company  on  the  prior- 
ity list  for  return  to  the  United  States,  and  with  instructions  regarding 
disposal  of  the  property.  Great  excitement  prevailed.  Everybody  was 
happy ! 

What  was  necessary  to  get  ready  was  quickly  taken  care  of  and  a  wire 
sent  to  S.  0<  S.  Headquarters  at  Tours,  advising  them  that  the  company 
had  complied  with  the  exacting  regulations  and  was  ready  to  receive 
movement  orders  to  a  port. 

Next  morning  a  telegram  arrived  ordering  all  personnel  and  transpor- 
tation to  Antwerp,  Belgium.  What  a  mix-up !  No  one  believed  it  but 
thought  someone  was  playing  a  joke.  Finally,  however,  after  much  tele- 
phoning the  news  was  confirmed,  but  with  the  orders  slightly  changed; 
only  twelve  men  and  Lieut.  Garvey  were  to  go  to  Antwerp  and  the  bal- 
ance would  go  home.  The  company  was  broken  up!  There  were  a  dis- 
consolate lot  of  men  in  barracks  that  night. 

The  "Antwerp  detachment"  had  to  go  to  Romorantin  for  new  cars 
where  it  was  able  to  get  back  three  of  the  old  cars  in  which  to  make  the 
trip.  The  trip  through  central  France  following  the  route  through  Chau- 
mont,  Langres,  Chatillon,  Seine,  Tonnerre,  Auxerre  and  Gien  was  a  reve- 
lation. After  eight  months  in  the  northern  part  of  the  country  the  fine 
roads  and  well  kept  villages  were  a  delight  to  everyone. 

The  round  trip  to  Rimaucourt,  where  a  stop  was  made  to  overhaul  the 
new  cars,  required  four  days.  On  the  morning  of  April  11th  the  real  trip 
to  Antwerp  began.  Rheims,  where  we  spent  the  first  night,  made  one's 
heart  ache.  The  devastation  was  colossal.  Every  building  showed  marks 
of  the  terrific  struggle  that  was  waged  there  for  more  than  four  years. 
Even  the  hotel  where  the  "Dirty  Dozen,"  to  use  their  adopted  nickname, 
stopped,  was  only  then  undergoing  repairs.  And  it  was  the  best  the  town 
afforded.  The  streets  were  piled  high  with  debris,  leaving  just  room  for 
one-way  traffic. 

The  Cathedral,  always  an  historic  spot,  was  doubly  so  in  its  glory  as 
a  martyr  in  a  just  cause  and  as  an  example  of  Germany's  horrible  Kul- 
tur.  In  spite  of  all  this  noble  building  had  gone  through,  it  still  main- 
tained its  glory.  Due  to  the  heroic  efforts  of  the  townspeople,  many  of 
its  precious  bits  of  architecture,  windows  and  statues  were  saved.  Through 
the  generous  contributions  from  outside  sources,  it  is  hoped  the  entire 
structure  will  be  restored  to  its  former  grandeur. 

Loos,  St.  Quentin,  and  Cambrai  were  in  much  the  same  condition  as 
Rheims.  The  wonderful  spirit  of  France  seemed  personified  in  the  tiny 
garden  patches,  being  cultivated  between  trenches  and  piles  of  salvaged 
war  material  in  this  terribly  devastated  country.

The  three  months  spent  in  Antwerp  quickly  passed  in  spite  of  the  in- 
creasing longing  for  home.  Most  of  the  "Dozen"  got  to  Rotterdam,  Hol- 
land, where  they  visited  The  Hague  and  other  points  of  interest.  ^11 
saw  Brussels,  the  capital  of  our  small,  but  heroic  Ally.  Several  trips 
were  also  made  to  Liege,  Molines,  Louvain  and  Ghent. 

On  July  20th,  the  detachment  sailed  from  Antwerp  on  the  U.  S.  trans- 
port, "Princess  Matoika."  On  August  1st  it  landed  at  Hoboken,  and  on 
August  5th  the  last  chapter  of  the  detachment's  wonderful  experience 
was  written  at  Camp  Dix,  N.  J. 

After  the  Split. 

As  it  was  recorded  much  earlier,  the  company  was  split  up  during  the 
latter  part  of  April.  Twelve  men  and  Lieutenant  Garvey  were  sent  to 
Antwerp  to  report  for  duty  in  the  S.  O.  S.  of  the  Third  Army,  this  be- 
ing the  second  turn  with  the  Army  of  Occupation.  Here  it  was  again 
split,  some  going  to  Rotterdam,  others  to  Brussels,  and  the  balance  re- 
maining in  Antwerp.  The  nature  of  that  detachment's  work  has  never 
been  learned  by  the  writer.  (Editorial  note:  This  is  written  by  Sgt. 
Swainey.  The  activities  of  the  Antwerp  detachment  to  which  he  refers, 
were  described  by  Sgt.  Jacobs  in  the  foregoing  paragraphs.)  These 
twelve  men  and  Lieutenant  Garvey  landed  in  the  United  States 
August  1st. 

While  at  Rimaucourt,  where  the  split  was  made,  "Steve"  Dombrousky 
was  sent  home  with  a  broken  arm  and  "Dad"  Cheney  worked  a  good  line 
and  got  home  some  way  through  military  channels.  These  men  left  while 
the  outfit  was  still  intact.  Thus  only  23  men  were  left  and  these  fellows 
immediately  labelled  themselves,  "The  Dirty  23." 

Those  of  us  who  did  not  go  with  the  detachment,  were  attached  to  the 
Motor  Transport  Corps  for  duty  under  the  wing  of  a  commissioned  offi- 
cer while  waiting  for  orders  which  would  set  all  hearts  rejoicing ;  but  this 
move  started  the  boys  to  thinking  that  they  were  stuck  for  good.  Our 
gloomy  feelings,  however,  were  not  justified  as  we  all  found  out  in  about 
two  weeks'  time. 

While  with  the  M.  T.  C.  the  fellows  worked  around  the  garage,  helping 
out  as  much  as  possible.  If  I  do  say  it  myself,  they  turned  out  some  good 
work  and  held  up  their  end  of  the  game.  They  were  complimented  by 
the  commanding  officer  in  charge  of  their  division  for  their  application 
and  good  work. 

The  duties  here  covered  about  a  two-week  period  and  on  May  2nd,  the 
"glad  tidings"  were  turned  loose  from  the  commanding  general's  office, 
Advance  Section,  S.  O.  S.  We  were  ordered  to  Le  Mans  to  report  to  the 
commanding  officer  of  United  States  troops  at  that  point,  for  return  to 
the  United  States.

The  Armistice  celebration  was  a  big  thing,  but  it  was  small  in  compari- 
son with  the  noise  raised  by  the  crowd  when  "The  Orders"  were  received. 
It  was  "too  good  to  be  true"  so  some  of  'em  said ;  never  had  we  kicked  up 
such  a  rumpus,  but  who  could  blame  us?  Getting  home  was  the  one  and 
only  thought  in  our  minds  after  we  were  split  and  the  Antwerp  crowd 
had  gone  on  their  way. 

We  started  on  May  3rd  and  landed  in  Le  Mans  about  midnight  on  the 
4th.  A  guide  took  us  out  to  what  is  known  as  the  "Classification  Camp." 
This  is  where  all  casuals  who  went  through  Le  Mans  were  sent  to  await 
further  orders.  The  next  morning  we  were  turned  out  bright  and  early 
to  go  over  to  headquarters  for  the  purpose  of  establishing  our  status. 
After  talking  with  the  officer  in  charge  we  were  told  that  we  would  be 
held  together  as  a  unit. 

We  waited  ten  days  at  Le  Mans  for  orders,  during  which  time  we  had 
it  pretty  soft.  Being  rated  as  an  organization  kept  us  out  of  detail  work, 
which  is  quite  desirable  in  the  army.  All  we  did  was  loaf  and  sleep. 
Every  night  all  received  passes  and  went  to  town ;  passes  were  available 
after  retreat  until  9 :30  P.  M.  We  spent  a  lot  of  our  "shekels"  for  real 
food  which  was  obtainable  at  the  Red  Cross  and  Y.  M.  C.  A.  cafeterias. 
This  certainly  was  the  greatest  .thing  we  had  hit  up  to  that  time.  The 
supply  of  ice  cream  and  French  pastry  at  one  store  received  an  awful 
setback  during  those  ten  days. 

It  was  here  that  "Doc"  Wylie  attracted  a  lot  of  attention  by  his  ten- 
nis playing  and  after  showing  his  worth,  was  transferred  into  a  "welfare 
battalion"  so  that  he  might  be  placed  on  the  representative  team  from 
that  section  that  was  going  to  the  tournament  in  Paris.  Ed.  Vilcek  also 
connected  up  in  the  doubles  and  went  along  with  "Doc."  "Doc's"  show- 
ing in  Paris  justified  his  being  taken  along  as  he  had  the  satisfaction  of 
beating  the  best  man  on  the  team  that  won  the  tournament. 

Our  stay  in  Le  Mans  was  longer  than  we  expected  for  we  hoped  to  re- 
main there  only  a  couple  of  days.  Finally,  on  May  14th,  we  received  or- 
ders to  join  the  30Gth  Sanitary  Train  of  the  81st  Division  at  Beaumont 
for  return  to  the  U.  S.  A.  "Doc"  and  "Ed"  wTere  left  behind  and  it  surely 
was  a  sorry  crowrd  to  lose  two  members  of  "The  Dirty  23,"  but  what 
was,  had  to  be. 

We  were  the  first  casuals  (for  now  Ave  were  really  casuals)  to  join  the 
division  and  for  a  week  and  a  half  we  stayed  in  the  casual  detachment. 
About  this  time  the  powers  that  held  forth  at  headquarters  decided  to 
break  up  the  casual  detachment  and  send  the  members  to  the  different 
organizations  in  the  train.  After  this  last  move  we  remained  in  Beau- 
mont for  two  weeks.

EVACUATION   AMBULANCE   COMPANY   NO.   8 

The  day  before  we  left  Beaumont  we  had  a  great  surprise,  "Doc"  and 
"Ed"  had  finished  up  in  Paris  and  were  sent  back  to  the  train  for  return 
to  the  States.  Word  was  received  to  move  to  Saint  Nazaire  on  June  5th 
and  on  the  6th  we  left  Beaumont  for  the  coast.  After  a  12-hour  ride  in 
an  A.  E.  F.  special  with  50  men  to  a  car  we  reached  our  destination  early 
on  the  Tth.  There  were  a  number  of  final  inspections  here  and  checking 
of  paper  work  which  consumed  three  days.  On  the  9th  "Homeward 
Bound"  was  a  reality  and  we  sailed  on  the  good  old  tub,  the  U.  S.  S. 
"Manchuria." 

The  most  noteworthy  thing  on  our  return  trip  was  the  speed  (?)  we 
made.  It  required  11  days  before  we  saw  the  shores  of  Virginia,  for  since 
the  81st  was  a  Southern  division  we  landed  at  Newport  News,  this  being 
accomplished  on  the  20th.  Conditions  were  much  better  coming  back. 
Even  the  food  had  it  on  the  trip  over,  a  hundred  different  ways.  There 
were  three  bands  and  a  "jazz"  orchestra  on  board,  so  music  filled  the  air 
most  of  the  time. 

After  landing  it  took  only  a  short  time  to  put  us  through  the  "delouser" 
and  go  through  some  more  inspection,  following  which  we  were  assigned 
to  different  camps  for  discharge.  This  assigning  men  to  camps  was  the 
final  disposal  of  the  outfit  and  ended  its  status  as  an  organization  in  the 
United  States  Army. 

SIDE  LIGHTS  ON  COMPANY  EIGHT 

Sgt.  Woodside,  and  Wagoners  Brooks,  Geldert  and  Mellen  well  remem- 
ber the  trip  over.  "Woody"  would  not  come  right  out  and  say  that  he 
was  sick,  so  when  one  of  the  fellows  found  him  making  his  way  below 
"Woody"  told  him  that  he  was  tired.  Geldert  and  Brooks  don't  even 
know  what  the  ocean  looks  like  out  of  sight  of  land.

Mellen  threw  a  piece  of  paper  overboard  which  was  against  orders, 
and  was  promptly  caught  by  some  "Loot."  No  subs  caught  us  so  "Jack" 
was  vindicated. 


Evacuation  Ambulance  Company  No.  5  got  us  all  in  trouble  at  La  Pal- 
lice.  The  Colonel  wanted  some  work  done  and  it  was  piled  on  the  three 
ambulance  companies.  "Five"  didn't  work  just  as  hard  as  the  Colonel 
thought  they  should,  so  we  all  took  the  German  prisoners'  place  as  steve- 
dorrs  on  Sunday.

We  received  our  cars  at  St.  Aignan,  and  as  soon  as  possible  started 
for  Paris.  This  was  a  great  trip  and  very  eventful  for  Felton.  He  ran 
over  a  French  soldier  as  we  were  coming  into  Versailles.      George   was

report  of  the  accident.    "  Jimmie"  Monroe,  a  witness  of  the  accident,  was 

unable  to  swear  that  he  saw  the  sand-pile.    "Jimmie"  is  a  minister's  son.

"Duke"  Moore  is  a  qualified  expert  on  sleeping  in  a  bath  tub.  At  Ver-

motorcycle  and  did  not  come  to  until  the  next  morning.    It  rained  during 

the  night.

The  Paris  taxi-drivers  had  the  fright  of  their  lives  when  "Eight"  drove 
through  Paris  that  morning.  Orders  were:  "Don't  get  lost,"  so  a  couple 
of  taxis  were  bumped  out  of  the  road  when  they  tried  to  break  into   our 

train.

Scene :  Paris. 

Characters:  "Woody"  and  woman  barber. 

Time:  Early  August  morning,  1918. 

Action :  "Woody"  needed  a  shave,  no  doubt  about  it.  He  found  a  likely 
looking  place  and  entered.  A  woman  barber  was  chief  cook  and  bottle 
washer  of  the  joint.  After  many  mysterious  moves,  "Woody"  enlight- 
ened the  fair  (  ?)  dame  as  to  his  wants.  The  barber  started  out  by  sharp- 
ening razor  on  a  board.  After  several  tries,  "Woody"  was  convinced  that 
lie  was  not  in  an  American  barber  shop.  He  got  disgusted  and  in  his 
misery  he  left  the  shop  with  one  side  hacked  off,  and  the  other  untouched. 

Some  shave  and  some  sight.

Chateau  la  Trousse,  our  first  assignment  in  the  advance  zone,  none  of 

the  boys  will  ever  forget.    "They  went  wild,  simply  wild"  over  us  every 

night.    The  "Loot"  sure  drew  the  prize  package — "Cooties." 
****** 

Coincy,  our  next  stop  was  made  a  couple  of  days  later.  Here  we  drew 
a  fine  place  for  our  camp.  It  was  an  old  picket  line.  The  most  impres- 
sive things  here  were  dead  Germans,  flies  and  bees.  The  bees  made  quite 
an  impression  on  some  o£  the  boys. 

Two  characters  were  developed  here,  O'Brien  and  McBride,  "The  Sal- 
vage Twins."  They  always  could  be  found  around  a  salvage  pile  looking 
for  junk.    Their  car  resembled  Santa  Claus'  sleigh  on  Christmas  eve. 

This  place  marked  our  introduction  to  real  work.  Six  cars  went  out 
one  night  for  parts  unknown  as  a  result,  six  cars  got  lost  with  patients. 
However,  all  came  back  safe,  but  they  were  not  sure  whether  they  were 

going  toward  the  German  lines  or  not.

"Dad"  Cheney  won  the  hand-painted  onion  at  Coincy  as  he  was  sure 
he  saw  a  gas  cloud  coming  across  the  field,  which  in  reality  was  the  smoke 
from  a  couple  of  signals  dropped  by  an  airplane.

I'll  say  the  chocolate  and  cigarettes  we  brought  over  with  us,  bought 
out  of  the  fund,  tasted  good  here.

There  was  much  souvenir-hunting,  as  this  was  our  first  trip  into  the 
battle  field  end  of  the  country.  As  a  result,  the  cars  were  full  of  junk 
when  we  started  to  move.

The  M.  P.'s  in  Toul  sure  had  a  good  one  put  over  on  them.  No  one  could 
enter  the  city  without  a  pass,  and  as  these  were  few  and  far  between  the 
boys  worked  their  "Honor  Pass"  from  Allentown.  This  pass  entitled  the 
bearer  to  come  and  go  from  camp  as  he  would  between  6 :30  A.  M.  and 
11 :30  P.  M.  and  read,  "Pass  through  the  gates  at  all  times  between  these 
hours."  They  worked  fine  on  getting  through  the  gates  of  Toul. 
****** 

All  was  peaceful  and  calm  in  the  dugout  save  for  intermittent  snoring. 
Suddenly  cries  rent  the  stillness  of  the  night  and  the  "Loot,"  sleeping  at 
the  foot  of  Jimmie  Monroe's  litter,  heard,  "Alright  'Loot,'  bring  up  the 
infantry."  As  a  result  "Loot"  was  almost  scared  to  death.  The  whole 
crowd  aAvoke  and  there  was  much  laughter.  Jimmie  has  the  habit  of 
talking  in  his  sleep.  Evidently  he  thought  he  was  the  Commanding  Gen- 
eral of  some  divisioU.

"Jimmie"  knew  a  girl  in  Summit  Lawn  near  Allentown  and  his  master- 
piece was  rendered  one  night  when  he  woke  the  whole  outfit  with  the 
questions  "Does  any  one  in  here  speak  English?  Does  any  one  know  the 

way  to  Summit  Lawn?"

"Barney"  Mulledy,  our  big  Swede  mechanic,  sure  has  all  the  medals 
for  eating.  "Barney"  was  enjoying  a  plate  of  beans  in  Thiaucourt  on  the 
Saint  Mihiel  front  one  day  when  Fritz  became  very  active.  Finally  Fritz 
got  really  warmed  up  and  "Barney"  had  to  drop  his  plate  of  beans,  and 
make  tracks  for  a  dugout,    He  was  very  much  put  out  because  he  had  to 

leave  those  lovely  army  beans.

pened, but  after  it  happened  the  cigarette  did   not  taste  as  nice  as  he 


thought  it  was  going  to.

"Jack"  Mellen,  in  trouble  again,  did  not  get  up  for  guard  duty  one 
night  when  awakened,  consequently  there  was  no  guard  from  2  A.  M.  un- 
til all  were  up  next  morning.  After  that  Mellen  was  on  K.  P.  for  a  long 
while.  "Jack"  said,  "I  always  get  caught  and  any  one  else  could  get 
away  with  twice  as  much  as  I  do."

"Barney"  sure  is  some  linguist.  On  one  trip  he  gave  a  Frenchman  a 
lift  and  naturally  the  Frenchman  wanted  to  know  where  "Barney"  was 
bound  for.    This  is  what  the  conversation  sounded  like : 

Barney :  "Dun  Sur  Meuse." 

Frenchman:  "Comment."  • 

Barney :  "Dun  Sur  Meuse." 

This  was  repeated  about  four  or  five  times,  each  time  growing  louder. 

Finally  Barney  said :  "You  frogs  make  me  tired,  you  don't  even  under- 
stand your  own  language."    He  sure  has  some  brogue.

"Barb"  while  in  Treves  one  day,  was  informed  by  an  Mi  P.  that  only 
Dodges  and  Cadillacs  were  allowed  to  travel  on  a  certain  street  leading 
into  town.  To  this  "Barb"  replied:  "Well,  this  is  a  Dodge;  what  is  the 
matter  with  you,  are  you  blind?"  With  his  G.  M.  C.  three-quarter  ton

One  Saturday  morning  after  an  inspection  by  a  captain  from  the  M.  T. 
C.  headquarters  of  the  7th  Corps,  a  complaint  was  made  in  the  official 
report  because  we  had  steps  on  the  back  end  of  our  cars.  The  reason  for 
this  complaint  was  that  the  step  added  extra  weight  to  the  back  axle,  and 
was  liable  to  break  it.  All  steps  were  ordered  taken  off.

Mellen,  again,  loaned  a  tire  to  a  fellow  ambulance-driver  from  another

back  and  was  at  once  in  for  a  court  martial  if  that  tire  was  not  returned 
by  4  o'clock  the  next  afternoon.  "Jack"  started  out  early  the  next  morn-

CHAPTER  X 

OVERSEAS  ACTIVITIES  OF  THE  U.  S.  L.  T.  A. 

Association  co-operates  with  Red  Cross  in  service  of  tennis  players  over- 
seas— Magazines  sent  abroad — Tennis   helps  strengthen  bonds   be- 
tween allied  nations — Takes  prominent  place  in  games  of  the  A.  E.  F. 
— Australians  visit  United  States  in  1919  and  Davis  Cup  matches 
are  resumed. 
While  the  interest  of  members  of  the  Association  centered  in  the  sec- 
tions which  went  overseas,  it  was  by  no  means  confined  to  this  branch  of 
the  service.    With  hundreds  of  players  abroad,  and  other  hundreds  in 
the  Navy  or  training  at  the   camps   scattered   throughout   the    United 
States,  the  followers  of  the  game  found   something  to   claim   attention 
wherever  the  uniform  appeared. 

One  phase  of  overseas  activity  which  attracted  attention  as  soon  as 
troops  were  moving,  was  the  designation  of  Bernon  S.  Prentice  as  the 
Association's  representative  in  France.  He  went  to  Paris  as  a  Major  in 
the  service  of  the  American  Red  Cross  and  being  attached  to  that  office, 
was  in  a  position  to  be  of  assistance  to  many  members  of  the  Association. 
All  the  Clubs  were  asked  for  lists  of  their  members  abroad,  and  Major 
Prentice  wras  kept  informed  of  these  names,  so  that  whenever  these  men 
called  on  him  he  could  act  in  their  behalf  without  delay. 

By  arrangement  with  S.  W.  Merrihew,  publisher  of  American  Lawn 
Tennis,  copies  of  the  magazine  were  sent  abroad,  for  distribution  at 
camps  and  recreation  centers.  That  such  acts,  though  small  in  them- 
selves, were  appreciated  by  the  men,  goes  without  saying.  Many  of  those 
who  would  have  been  out-  of  touch  with  the  game  were  thus  enabled  to 
keep  track  of  developments  at  home,  and  also  know  something  of  the  at- 
tention with  which  their  fortunes  were  followed  by  those  the}'  left  behind. 
This  continued  for  the  duration  of  the  war. 

When  the  Armistice  was  signed,  there  was,  of  course,  a  marked  change 
in  the  circumstances  of  the  A.  E.  F.  and  one  of  the  first  signs  that  the  war 
had  ended,  was  the  attention  given  to  sport.  Whereas  athletics  had,  up 
to  that  time,  served  as  part  of  the  strictly  military  training,  in  order  to 
develop  the  physical  and  mental  qualities  that  make  a  good  soldier,  they 
now  became  a  means  of  recreation.  They  had  still  greater  significance, 
in  their  use  to  promote  a  friendly  understanding  between  the  Allies  and  to 
strengthen  the  bonds  of  friendship  formed  under  war's  hard  conditions. 

The  official  attitude  toward  sports  was  expressed  in  the  letter  of  Gen- 
eral Pershing,  when  as  Commander  of  the  American  Armies,  he  invited 
the  Allied  nations  to  send  teams  to  the  games  in  Paris  in  the  spring  of 
1919.     His  letter  follows : 

106 


OVERSEAS  ACTIVITIES  OF  THE  U.  S.  L.  T.  A. 

"The  officers  and  men  of  the  American  Expeditionary  Forces,  being  keenly 
appreciative  of  the  splendid  relations  which  exist  among  those  who  have  borne 
arms  in  the  great  common  cause,  and  which  in  the  present  instance  have  so 
happily  developed  into  such  deep  feelings  of  mutual  respect  and  admiration, 
are  most  anxious  to  preserve  and  strengthen  this  relationship,  in  every  way 
possible. 

"Now  that  active  military  operations  have  ceased  they  believe  that  nothing 
could  be  more  conducive  to  this  end  than  to  gather  in  friendly  competition 
on  the  field  of  sport  representatives  of  the  armies  of  each  of  the  nations  which 
have  so  long  been  associated  together  in  the  stern  struggle  for  the  right. 

"Accordingly  they  have  decided  to  organize  an  inter-allied  athletic  meet- 
ing to  be  held  in  the  Colombes  Stadium,  Paris,  during  the  month  of  May  or 
June,  1919,  in  which  officers  and  men  of  all  these  armies  shall  be  eligible  to 
take  part. 

"As  Commander-in-Chief  of  the  American  Expeditionary  Forces,  I  have 
the  honor,  therefore,  to  invite  through  you,  their  Commander-in-Chief,  the 
officers  and  men  of  the  armies  of  France  to  participate  in  the  contests  and  to 
express  the  earnest  hope  that  many  of  them  may  do  so,  and  that  the  ties  of  the 
much  cherished  spirit  of  comradeship  which  have  sprung  up  from  the  gallant 
joint  efforts  of  our  forces  on  the  battlefields  may  thus  be  even  more  closely 
cemented." 

Before  these  games  were  under  way,  however,  tenuis  was  being  revived 
as  an  international  sport.  An  American  team  entered  several  of  the  tour- 
naments along  the  Riviera.  Later  an  Inter- Allied  Championship,  won  by 
Andre  Gobert  of  France,  and  an  A.  E.  P.  Championship  won  by  Captain 
Watson  M.  Washburn,  added  interest  to  the  play.  Most  notable  was  the 
tournament  at  Cannes,  February,  1919*  in  which  168  American  officers 
were  entered.  They  came  from  almost  every  state  in  the  Union  and  this 
made  the  event  a  thoroughly  representative  one.  It  was  won  by  Captain 
Richard  N.  Williams,  2d. 

That  American  interest  in  sport  excited  attention  abroad  is  evident 
in  the  comment  of  a  British  writer,  who  told  in  the  Birmingham  Post  of 
August  20,  of  the  difficulties  experienced  by  the  Australian  team  in  book- 
ing passage  to  the  United  States.  Finally  their  troubles  became  known  to 
the  American  Embassy.  He  wrote :  "The  cables  did  brisk  business  and 
within  a  few  hours  the  authorities  on  the  other  side  wired  peremptory 
orders  that  four  generals  due  for  embarkation  on  demobilization  were  to 
vacate  their  berths  on  the  next  boat  and  the  accommodation  was  to  be 
put  at  the  disposal  of  the  tennis  players.  That  is  the  story  now  current 
and  as  it  well  accords  Avith  the  known  attitude  of  the  American  military 
authorities  to  sport  and  sportsmen,  there  is  no  reason  to  doubt  it.  It  will 
be  remembered  that  highly  decorated  heads  of  our  forces  in  France  who 
learnt  that  the  American  players  'received  orders'  to  parade  at  the  Inter- 
national Lawn  Tennis  meeting  in  France  recently  as  a  part  of  their  mili- 
tary duties,  displayed  symptoms  of  apoplexy."

OVERSEAS  ACTIVITIES  OF  THE  U.  S.  L.  T.  A. 

While  the  foregoing  may  be  open  to  question  as  a  contribution  to  the 
military  archives  of  the  United  States,  it  is  a  good  enough  story  to  be  re- 
corded for  what  it  is  worth.  It  does  not  exaggerate  when  it  says  that  men 
were  "ordered"  to  take  part  in  games.  They  were!  Furthermore,  tennis 
players  had  a  prominent  part  not  only  in  the  athletic  events,  but  in  help- 
ing to  plan  and  manage  the  programs.  Col.  Wait  C.  Johnson,  a  former 
New  England  champion,  was  the  athletic  officer  of  the  A.  E.  F.  Captain 
Watson  M.  WTashburn,  a  member  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  As- 
sociation and  a  ranking  player  in  1916,  was  one  of  his  assistants.  It  was 
natural,  therefore,  that  they  should  look  upon  tennis,  with  an  eye  that 
recognized  its  attraction. 

To  take  part  in  the  Inter-Allied  games  previously  mentioned,  the  Asso- 
ciation sent  Willis  E.  Davis,  Clarence  J.  Griffin  and  Charles  S.  Garland 
to  France,  acting  on  orders  from  the  A.  E.  F.  headquarters.  A  change  in 
the  schedule,  which  advanced  the  date  of  the  tennis  events,  made  their 
trip  useless  so  far  as  those  contests  were  concerned,  for  the  matches  were 
finished  before  the  team  got  to  Paris.  However,  these  players  were  in 
time  to  take  part  in  the  championship  at  Wimbledon  and  on  those  classic 
courts  they  had  a  share  in  the  remarkable  revival  of  international  compe- 
tition which  was  a  feature  of  1919. 

In  this  connection,  the  most  important  event  was  the  resumption  of  the 
Davis  Cup  matches  which  had  lapsed  because  of  the  war.  The  Associa- 
tion had  refrained  from  challenging  for  the  Davis  Cup  because  the  United 
States  had  suffered  less  from  the  war  than  any  of  the  contending  nations 
and  felt,  therefore,  that  to  challenge  would  hardly  be  sportsmanlike,  as 
its  team  would  apparently  be  much  the  strongest  of  any  that  could  play 
for  the  cup.  It  gave  notice,  however,  of  its  intention  to  challenge  in  1920. 
Developments  when  the  Australian  team  visited  the  United  States  con- 
firmed this  belief,  for  the  United  States  won  all  its  matches  against  the 
Australian  players. 

Belgium,  France,  England  and  South  Africa  challenged  Australia  and 
in  the  play-off  of  preliminary  ties,  England  won.  The  matches  which  were 
to  have  been  held  in  December,  1919,  did  not  take  place  until  early  in 
1920,  owing  to  the  difficulty  in  securing  passage  for  the  English  team. 
Meanwhile  the  Australian  Imperial  Forces,  through  its  Sports  Board, 
sent  a  team  to  the  United  States,  headed  by  Norman  E.  Brookes,  who  had 
just  lost  his  title  of  world's  champion,  to  Gerald  L.  Patterson  at  Wimble- 
don. In  addition  to  these  two,  R.  V.  Thomas  and  Randolph  Lycett  also 
came.    Thomas  had  won  the  English  doubles  with  Pat  O'Hara  Wood.

OVERSEAS  ACTIVITIES  OF  THE  U.  S.  L.  T.  A. 

The  teams  were  expected  to  reach  this  country  in  time  to  take  part  in 
the  various  sectional  events  preliminary  to  the  national  doubles  cham- 
pionship the  week  of  August  11,  but  they  were  delayed  by  a  shipping 
strike.  As  they  did  not  arrive  until  August  7th  the  Executive  Committee 
waived  the  requirement  that  they  qualify  through  a  sectional  doubles 
event  and  both  teams  were  entered  in  the  national  doubles  championship 
at  Longwood. 

Lycett  and  Thomas  also  played  at  Rockaway  and  then  both  teams  went 
to  Southampton.  The  week  of  August  25  saw  them  all  playing  in  the  na- 
tional singles  championship  at  Forest  Hills.  None  of  the  Australians 
reached  the  semi-finals;  Patterson  was  defeated  by  William  M.  Johnston, 
and  William  T.  Tilden  defeated  Brookes.  In  a  subsequent  team  match 
the  United  States  won  all  events,  four  singles  and  tAvo  doubles.  During 
September  the  visitors  played  a  number  of  exhibition  matches,  ending 
their  trip  on  the  Pacific  Coast  where  they  sailed  for  home. 

The  visit  of  these  players  to  the  United  States  was  a  wonderful  stimu- 
lus to  the  game.  In  appreciation  of  their  playing  the  Association  sent 
the  following  letter  to  its  members : 

"The  officers  of  the  Association  desire  to  bring  to  members'  attention  their 
sincere  appreciation  of  the  sportsmanship  and  friendly  spirit  of  the  Australian 
tennis  players,  who  have  been  in  the  United  States  since  early  August.  In 
sending  Messrs.  Brookes,  Patterson,  Lycett  and  Thomas  to  this  country  the 
Sports  Board  of  the  Australian  Imperial  Forces  not  only  enabled  the  Ameri- 
cans to  enjoy  their  fine  play,  but  also  demonstrated  that  attitude  of  cordial  co- 
operation which  we  have  come  to  consider  characteristic  of  Australia. 

"By  winning  the  doubles  championship,  Brookes  and  Patterson  are  enti- 
tled to,  and  will  receive,  our  hearty  congratulations.  The  effect  of  their  trip 
both  here,  and  abroad,  in  re-establishing  tennis  on  its  pre-war  basis  cannot  be 
over-estimated,  and  we  owe  them  a  tribute  of  sincere  admiration.  Our  visit- 
ors won  a  host  of  friends  throughout  America',  and  the  hope  is  general  that 
they  may  return  another  season  and  renew  those  friendships.  This  letter  is 
written  to  give  expression  to  sentiments  often  voiced  to  the  Australian  players 
personally,  and  through  them  to  their  official  bodies." 

From  the  foregoing  it  is  apparent  that  the  season  of  1919  was  marked 
by  such  a  notable  revival  of  interest  in  tennis,  as  to  justify  the  Associa- 
tion's policy  during  the  preceding  war  years.  Not  only  was  the  game 
kept  alive  but  the  organization  was  maintained  so  effectively  that  when 
the  restrictions  of  war  were  removed,  tennis  could  go  forward  from  the 
high  point  of  1917  without  passing  through  a  long  period  of  rebuilding. 
What  this  means  for  the  future  no  one  can  say  in  definite  terms,  but 
measured  by  the  achievements  of  the  past,  it  is  reasonable  to  forecast  a 
future  which  is  even  more  auspicious  for  this  sport.

CHAPTER  XI 

HISTORICAL  OUTLINE  OF  LAWN  TENNIS 

Origin  of  lawn  tennis  and  its  relation  to  court  tennis  which   dates  from 
the  Middle  Ages — Development  of  lawn  tennis  in  England— Its  intro- 
duction into  the  United  States — Organization  of  the  Association  in 
J  881 — Influence  of  the  Davis  Cup  contests. 
The  historical  background  of  a  sport  which  has  become  international  in 
scope  in  less  than  two-score  years  and  was   able  to  maintain   something 
like  its  normal  activity  in  the  United  States  even  during  the  trials  of  war 
time,  deserves  more  than  passing  notice.     Tradition  has  it  that  tennis  is 
the  "sport  of  kings"  but  this  saying  properly  relates  to  the  game  known  as 
"court  tennis,"  which  is  entirely  different  from  the  more  common   game, 
lawn  tennis.     Historical  records  place  the  origin  of  court  tennis  in  the 
Middle  Ages  but  needless  to  say,  it  has  received  many  modifications  dur- 
ing the  succeeding  centuries. 

Lawn  tennis  had  its  beginning  about  1874.  One  of  the  notable  reasons 
for  its  development  was  the  fact  that  it  was  standardized  almost  at  its  ori- 
gin, and  has  since  been  played  under  practically  uniform  conditions 
throughout  the  world.  It  is  one  of  the  few  games  of  which  this  is  true. 
Having  started  in  England,  it  spread  quite  naturally  over,  the  entire  Brit- 
ish Empire.  It  is  therefore  not  surprising  to  learn  that  lawn  tennis  is 
played  wherever  English  is  spoken.  The  limitations  of  language,  however, 
have  not  prevented  its  growth  in  other  countries.  The  Scandinavian  na- 
tions have  for  a  number  of  years  been  developing  active  clubs.  In  South 
America,  tennis  is  growing  rapidly.  When  the  latter  facts  are  consid- 
ered in  relation  to  the  organizations  already  existent  in  England,  Aus- 
tralia, Canada,  South  Africa,  France,  Germany,  Switzerland,  Belgium, 
Japan,  Mexico,  and  the  United  States,  the  remarkable  appeal  of  the  sport 
is  more  clearly  apparent. 

The  early  history  of  the  game  was  outlined  in  1904  by  J.  Parmly  Paret 
in  Lawn  Tennis  in  which  he  said: 

"Lawn  tennis  is  essentially  a  modern  game,  for  its  origin  dates  back  less 
than  thirty  years.  Its  genealogy  is  rather  obscure,  and  the  best  of  authorities 
disagree  as  to  its  direct  parentage.  That  it  had  antecedents  there  can  be  no 
question,  for  it  embodies  familiar  features  borrowed  from  older  sports,  and 
few,  if  any,  that  are  absolutely  original  in  itself. 

"The  ancient  Romans  were  the  first  people  who  are  known  to  have  played 
with  a  ball,  and  they  enjoyed  a  game  called  'lusio  pilaris,'  the  exact  nature 
of  which  is  not  perfectly  understood.  A  number  of  players,  however,  tossed 
or  struck  a  ball  from  one  point  to  another  for  sport,  and  some  antiquarians 
are  convinced  that  the  ancient  game  bore  a  strong  resemblance  to  our  modern- 
day  game  of  fives. 

112 


HISTORICAL   OUTLINE   OF   LAWN   TENNIS 

"The  first  record  of  any  such  game  in  Europe,  however,  occurs  in  the  Mid- 
dle Ages,  when  a  crude  game  which  afterward  developed  into  court  tennis 
was  the  favorite  sport  of  the  Italian  and  French  feudal  kings  and  nobles.  The 
French  seem  to  have  borrowed  the  game  from  the  Italians,  and  both  played 
it  assiduously  in  the  open  air.  Later  it  became  the  common  property  of  the 
masses,  instead  of  being  restricted  to  the  upper  classes,  and  gradually  evolved 
into  popular  pastime. 

"In  Italy  the  game  took  the  name  of  'giuoco  della  palla,'  while  in  France 
it  became  known  as  'jeu  de  paume.'  Enclosed  courts  were  next  built,  and  it 
then  included  some  of  the  features  of  our  present  day  court  tennis.  But 
many  of  the  game's  devotees  continued  playing  outdoors,  and  this  variety  be- 
came known  as  'la  longue  paume ;'  in  Italy  the  outdoor  game,  though  some- 
what corrupted,  was  continued  under  the  name  of  'pallone.' 

"This  French  outdoor  game,  which  is  probably  the  most  direct  of  all  the 
antecedents  of  lawn  tennis,  was  played  with  a  cork  ball,  which  was  originally, 
struck  with  the  hand,  with  or  without  a  glove  upon  it,  over  a  bank  of  earth, 
two  feet  in  height,  which  served  the  same  purpose  as  our  modern  net.  Soon 
a  crude  racket  with  wooden  frame  and  handle  and  gut  strings  was  substituted 
and  in  this  form  the  game  was  introduced  into  England  and  flourished  there 
for  many  years. 

"The  word  'tenez'  (trans,  'play')  was  cried  out  by  the  server  before  the 
ball  was  started  in  the  French  game ;  and  it  is  supposed,  although  not  authen- 
tically proven,  that  this  was  the  origin  of  our  English  word  'tennis,'  the  pho- 
netic form  being  preserved.  The  earliest  record  we  find  in  England  of  tennis 
is  near  the  end  of  the  eighteenth  century,  when  'field  tennis'  is  spoken  of  as 
a  dangerous  rival  to  cricket.  This  field  tennis  was  undoubtedly  an  English 
variety  of  'la  longue  paume'  with  minor  modifications,  and  forty  years  later 
references  to  'long  tennis'  as  apparently  the  name  of  a  very  similar  game. 

"Major  Walter  C.  Wingfield,  of  the  British  army,  is  popularly  credited 
with  the  invention  of  lawn  tennis  as  we  know  it,  and  it  was  certainly  he  who 
patented  the  game  in  1874.  Members  of  the  Leamington  Club  in  England, 
however,  claim  to  have  known  the  game  for  fifteen  years  before,  and  several 
English  gentlemen  who  played  court  tennis  were  credited  with  having  adopted 
an  outdoor  variation  which  strongly  resembled  lawn  tennis  as  introduced  ten 
years  later.  Major  Wingfield's  first  recorded  connection  with  the  game  was 
in  December,  1873,  when  he  introduced  what  purported  to  be  a  newly  in- 
vented game  at  a  country  house  in  England.  He  called  it  'sphairistike' 
which  literally  translated  from  the  Greek,  means,  'Ball  play.' 

"Major  Wingfield's  original  game  was  played  on  a  court  shaped  like  an 
hour-glass,  sixty  feet  in  length  and  thirty  feet  in  width  at  the  base-lines.  In 
the  center  was  stretched  a  net  twenty-one  feet  wide,  the  side  lines  of  the  court 
converging  to  its  ends.  This  net  was  seven  feet  high  at  its  sides  and  sagged 
to  four  feet  eight  inches  in  the  center.  The  old  method  of  racket  scoring  was 
used,  and  the  server  was  required  to  stand  within  a  marked  space  in  the  mid- 
dle of  his  court.  The  game,  as  first  played,  resembled  badminton  much  more 
than  our  modern  lawn  tennis,  so  slow  was  the  play,  but  the  many  changes 
made  in  the  rules  permitted  a  rapid  increase  in  the  speed. 

"Before  sphairistike  had  been  in  use  a  full  year,  Major  Wingfield  increased 
the  size  of  the  court  to  eighty-four  feet  in  length  and  thirty-six  feet  in  width, 

113 


UNITED   STATES   LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

and  lowered  the  height  of  the  net  to  four  feet  in  the  center,  placing  the  serv- 
er on  the  base  line  instead  of  in  the  middle  of  his  court.  The  following 
spring  he  again  increased  the  width  to  thirty-nine  feet,  but  still  preserved  his 
other  dimensions,  and  insisted  on  a  narrow  high  net  over  which  the  ball  must 
be  hit." 

The  development  of  the  rules  and  technique  of  the  sport  were  the  nat- 
ural outgrowth  of  the  interest  which  attended  the  introduction  of  Major 
Wingfield's  game.  Its  possibilities  were  quickly  perceived  and  in  1875  a 
meeting  of  those  interested  in  the  game  was  held  at  Lord's  cricket-ground, 
where  a  committee  of  the  Marylebone  Club  ( M.  C.  C. ) ,  was  appointed  to 
draw  up  a  code  of  rules.  The  hour-glass  shape  of  the  court  wras  retained 
by  this  code  ( issued  in  May,  1875 ) ,  and  the  scoring  of  the  game  followed 
in  the  main  the  racquets  instead  of  the  tennis  model.  It  was  at  the  sug- 
gestion of  J.  M.  Heathcote,  the  amateur  tennis  champion,  that  balls  cov- 
ered with  white  flannel  were  substituted  for  the  uncovered  balls  used  at 
first. 

In  1875,  through  the  influence  of  Henry  Jones  ( "Cavendish" )  lawn  ten- 
nis, according  to  the  Encyclopedia  Britannica,  was  included  in  the  pro- 
gramme of  the  All  England  Croquet  and  Lawn-Tennis  Club,  on  whose 
ground  at  Wimbledon,  the  All  England  championships  have  been  annual- 
ly played  since  that  date.  In  the  same  year,  in  anticipation  of  the  first 
championship  meeting,  the  club  appointed  a  committee  consisting  of 
Henry  Jones,  Julian  Marshall  and  C.  G.  Heathcote  to  revise  the  M.  C.  C. 
code  of  rules;  the  result  of  their  labors  being  the  introduction  of  the 
tennis  in  place  of  the  racquets  scoring,  the  substitution  of  a  rectangular 
for  the  "hour-glass"  court,  and  the  enactment  of  the  modern  rule  as 
regards  the  "fault."  The  height  of  the  net,  which  under  the  M.  C.  C.  rules 
had  been  4  feet  in  the  center,  was  reduced  to  3  feet,  3  inches,  and  regu- 
lations as  to  the  size  and  weight  of  the  ball  were  also  made. 

Some  controversy  had  already  taken  place  in  the  columns  of  the  Field 
as  to  whether  volleying  the  ball,  at  all  events  within  a  certain  distance  of 
the  net,  should  be  prohibited.  Spencer  Gore,  the  first  to  win  the  cham- 
pionship in  1877,  used  the  volley  with  great  skill  and  judgment,  and  in 
principle  anticipated  the  tactics  afterwards  brought  to  perfection  by  the 
Kenshaws,  which  aimed  at  forcing  the  adversary  back  to  the  base-line  and 
killing  his  return  with  a  volley  from  a  position  near  the  net.  P.  F.  Had- 
ow,  champion  in  1878,  showed  how  the  volley  might  be  defeated  by  skill- 
ful use  of  the  lob;  but  the  question  of  placing  some  check  on  the  volley 
continued  to  be  agitated  among  lovers  of  the  game. 

The  rapidly  growing  popularity  of  lawn  tennis  was  proved  in  1879  by 
the  inauguration  at  Oxford  of  the  four-handed  championship,  and  at  Dub- 
lin of  the  Irish  championship,  and  by  the  fact  that  there  were  forty-five 

114 


HISTORICAL  OUTLINE   OF  LAWN   TENNIS 

competitors  for  the  All  England  single  championship  at  Wimbledon,  won 
by  J.  T.  Hartlet,  a  player  who  chiefly  relied  on  the  accuracy  of  his  return, 
without  frequent  resort  to  volley.  It  was  in  the  autumn  of  the  same 
year,  in  a  tournament  at  Cheltenham,  that  W.  Renshaw  made  his  first 
successful  appearance  in  public.  The  year  1880  saw  the  foundation  of  the 
Northern  Lawn  Tennis  Association,  whose  tournaments  have  long  been 
regarded  as  inferior  in  importance  only  to  the  championship  meetings  at 
Wimbledon  and  Dublin,  and  a  revision  of  the  rules  which  substantially 
made  them  what  they  have  ever  since  remained.  The  same  year  is  also 
memorable  for  the  first  championship  doubles  won  by  the  twin  brothers 
William  and  Ernest  Renshaw,  a  success  which  the  former  followed  up  by 
winning  the  Irish  championship,  beating  among  others,  H.  F.  Lawford  for 
the  first  time. 

The  Renshaws  had  already  developed  the  volleying  game  at  the  net,  and 
had  shown  what  could  be  done  with  the  "smash"  stroke  which  became 
known  as  the  "Renshaw  smash,"  but  their  service  had  not  yet  become  very 
severe.  In  1881  the  distinctive  features  of  their  style  were  more  marked, 
and  the  brothers  established  firmly  the  supremacy  which  they  maintained 
almost  without  interruption  for  the  next  eight  years.  In  the  doubles  they 
discarded  the  older  tactics  of  one  partner  standing  back  and  the  other 
near  the  net ;  the  two  Renshaws  stood  about  the  same  level,  just  inside  the 
service-line,  and  from  there  volleyed  with  relentless  severity  and  with  an 
accuracy  never  before  equalled,  and  seldom  if  ever  since;  while  their  ser- 
vice also  acquired  an  immense  increase  of  pace. 

The  Renshaws'  chief  rival,  and  the  leading  exponent  of  the  non-volley- 
ing game  for  several  years,  was  H.  F.  Lawford.  After  a  year  or  two  it  be- 
came evident  that  neither  the  volleying  tactics  of  Renshaw  nor  the 
strong  back  play  of  Lawford  would  be  adopted  to  the  exclusion  of  the 
other,  and  both  players  began  to  combine  the  two  styles.  Thus  the  per- 
manent features  of  lawn  tennis  may  be  said  to  have  been  firmly  estab- 
lished by  1885;  and  the  players  who  have  since  then  come  to  the  front 
have  for  the  most  part  followed  the  principles  laid  down  by  the  Ren- 
shaws and  Lawford. 

Lawn  tennis  was  brought  to  the  United  States  about  the  same  time 
that  it  was  introduced  in  England,  having  first  been  played  at  Nahant, 
nenr  Boston.  Dr.  James  Dwight  and  F.  R.  and  R.  D.  Sears  are  gener- 
ally credited  with  having  introduced  it  to  their  countrymen.  Boston  had 
no  monopoly  on  the  sport,  however,  for  it  was  played  at  the  Staten  Is- 
land Cricket  and  Base  Ball  Club  of  New  York  and  at  some  of  the  lead- 
ing cricket  clubs  in  Philadelphia. 

115 


UNITED  STATES  LAWN  TENNIS  ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

Interest  in  the  sport  developed  so  rapidly  that  in  1881  the  representa- 
tives of  36  clubs  met  at  the  old  Fifth  Avenue  Hotel  in  New  York  to  or- 
ganize the  United  States  Lawn  Tennis  Association,  which  has  since  been 
the  governing  body  of  the  sport.  The  call  for  the  meeting  was  issued  by 
the  Staten  Island  Cricket  and  Base  Ball  Club,  the  Beacon  Park  Athletic 
Association  of  Boston  and  the  All-Philadelphia  LaAvn  Tennis  Committee. 
Contrary  to  general  opinion,  Dr.  James  Dwight  was  not  the  first  presi- 
dent of  the  Association,  that  honor  having  been  conferred  upon  R.  S. 
Oliver  of  the  Albany  Tennis  Club. 

One  of  the  first  acts  of  the  Association  was  to  fix  the  size  of  the  ball, 
the  diameter  being  set  as  2  1-2  to  2  9-16  inches,  and  the  weight  as  1  7-8  to 
2  ounces.  These  limits  continued  without  change  for  many  years,  al- 
though they  have  since  been  increased  by  1-16  of  an  inch  and  an  ounce, 
respectively.  At  a  subsequent  meeting  of  the  executive  committee  the 
15-30-40  method  of  scoring  was  adopted  as  official  for  all  matches,  when 
the  1  to  15  system  was  not  specified.  Then,  too,  it  was  decided  to  hold 
a  tournament  at  the  Newport  Casino  for  the  championship  of  the  United 
States,  this  event  being  scheduled  for  August  31  to  September  3,  1881. 
Thus  began  the  national  championships  which  have  since  been  held  with- 
out interruption  except  in  1917  when  the  title  was  suspended  on  account 
of  the  war  and  the  event  was  designated  as  a  "patriotic"  tournament. 

The  rapid  development  of  lawn  tennis  in  recent  years  has  been  due  in 
large  degree  to  the  interest  aroused  by  the  gift  by  Dwight  P.  Davis  of 
St.  Louis  of  the  Davis  Cup  as  a  trophy  for  international  matches.  The 
matches  are  held  in  the  country  of  the  champion  nation  and  the  first 
were  played  in  1900  when  a  British  team  including  A.  W.  Gore,  E.  D. 
Black  and  H.  R.  Barrett  came  to  the  United  States  to  be  defeated  by  M. 
D.  Whitman,  W.  A.  Larned,  D.  F.  Davis,  and  Holcombe  Ward.  In  1902 
a  stronger  British  team,  the  two  Dohertys  and  Dr.  J.  Pirn,  was  defeated 
by  the  same  representatives  of  the  United  States ;  but  in  the  following 
year  the  Dohertys  took  the  Davis  Cup  to  England  by  beating  Larned  and 
R.  D.  and  G.  L.  Wrenn  at  Longwood.  In  1904  the  Cup  was  played  for  at 
Wimbledon,  when  representatives  of  Belgium,  Austria  and  France  en- 
tered, but  they  failed  to  defeat  the  Dohertys  and  F.  L.  Riseley  who  repre- 
sented Great  Britain. 

In  1905  the  entries  included  France,  Austria,  Australia,  Belgium  and 
the  United  States.  In  1906  the  same  countries,  except  Belgium,  com- 
peted ;  but  in  both  years  the  British  players  withstood  the  attack.  In 
1907,  however,  when  the  contest  was  confined  to  England,  the  United 
States  and  Australia,  the  latter  was  successful  in  winning  the  Cup  which 
was  then  for  the  first  time  taken  to  the  Colonies,  where  it  was  retained 
in  the  following  year  when  the  Australians,  N.   E.   Brookes  and  A.   P. 

116 


HISTORICAL  OUTLINE   OF  LAWN   TENNIS 

Wilding,  defeated  the  representatives  of  the  United  States,  who  had  pre- 
viously beaten  the  English  challengers  in  America.  In  1909  the  Austral- 
ians retained  the  Cup,  beating  M.  E.  McLoughlin  and  M.  H.  Long,  both 
in  singles  and  doubles. 

There  were  no  matches  in  1910,  and  in  1911  Australia  defeated  an 
American  team  which  included  B.  C.  Wright,  M.  E.  McLoughlin  and  W. 
A.  Larned.  The  British  Isles  took  the  trophy  from  Australia  the  follow- 
ing year  but  lost  it  to  the  United  States  in  1913.  The  matches  of  1914 
were  the  most  successful  of  any  held  up  to  thaf  time  in  point  of  public 
interest.  Australia  won  by  defeating  the  United  States,  the  nations  rep- 
resented in  the  preliminary  ties  being  Australia,  Belgium,  British  Isles, 
Canada,  France  and  Germany. 

The  outbreak  of  the  great  war  overlapped  these  events  in  1914.  No 
matches  were  held  during  the  war  but  they  were  resumed  in  1919  when 
England  won  the  right  to  play  Australia,  the  competing  nations  being 
Belgium,  British  Isles,  France  and  South  Africa.  The  United  States 
refrained  from  challenging,  on  the  ground  that  its  playing  strength  had 
been  less  affected  by  the  war  than  that  of  any  of  the  other  nations.  Aus- 
tralia retained  the  Cup  by  defeating  the  English  team. 

In  1920  the  challenging  nations  were  British  Isles,  Canada,  France, 
Holland,  South  Africa,  and  the  United  States,  which  was  drawn  against 
France  in  the  first  round.  The  winning  team  was  to  meet  the  British 
Isles  and  the  winner  of  that  match  was  to  play  Holland,  which  had 
defeated  South  Africa,  after  Canada  had  defaulted.  On  May  thirtieth 
the  United  States'  team  sailed  on  a  government  transport,  its  members 
being  William  M.  Johnston,  William  T.  Tilden,  2nd,  Richard  N.  Williams, 
2nd,  Charles  S.  Garland,  and  Samuel  Hardy,  Captain. 

The  team's  record  was  notable  in  many  respects,  its  chief  triumph  in 
addition  to  a  sweeping  victory  in  the  Davis  Cup  ties,  being  Tilden's  feat 
in  winning  the  English  championship,  this  being  the  first  time  that  an 
American  had  achieved  the  honor.  Williams  and  Garland  won  the 
doubles  event  at  Wimbledon.  The  first  X)f  the  Davis  Cup  Matches  was 
played  at  Eastbourne  on  July  9-10,  the  scores  being : 

William  M.  Johnston  (U.  S.)  defeated  Andre  H.  Gobert  (France) 
6-3,  7-5,  6-3. 

WTilliam  T.  Tilden,  2nd   (U.  S.)   defeated  William  H.  Laurentz 

(France)  4-6,  6-2,  6-1,  6-3. 
Johnston-Tilden  defeated  Gobert-Laurentz,  6-2,  6-3,  6-2. 

117

AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

England  was  next  and  again  the  representatives  of  the  United  States 
were  victorious  in  a  match  played  at  Wimbledon  July  16-19.  The  scores 
of  this  tie  were : 

William  M.  Johnston  (U.  S.)  defeated  J.  C.  Parke  (B.  I.)  6-4,  6-4, 
2-6,  3-6,  6-2. 

William  T.  Tilden,  2nd,  (U.  S.)  defeated  A.  R.  F.  Kingscote  (B.  I.) 
4-6,  6-1,  6-3,  6-1. 

Johnston-Tilden  defeated  Parke-Kingscote,  8-6,  4-6,  4-6,  6-3,  6-2. 

Johnston  defeated  Kingscote,  6-3,  4-6,  3-6,  6-4,  7-5. 

Tilden  defeated  Parke,  6-2,  6-3,  7-5. 

Holland  defaulting  its  match,  the  team  returned  to  the  United  States, 
in  time  to  participate  in  the  singles  and  doubles  championships  and  oh 
November  seventeenth,  it  sailed  for  Auckland,  New  Zealand,  where  the 
challenge  round  was  scheduled  for  December  28,  29,  and  31.  For  busi- 
ness reasons  Williams  had  been  obliged  to  withdraw  from  the  team,  and 
his  place  was  taken  by  Watson  M.  Washburn.  The  Committee  having 
decided  to  send  only  four  men  on  this  long  trip,  Samuel  Hardy  was  again 
prevailed  upon  to  act  as  Captain,  with  the  understanding  that  in  an  emer- 
gency he  could  play  as  fourth  man. 

Although  interrupted  by  rain  the  matches  in  Auckland  were  a  com- 
plete success  and  were  marked  by  the  unprecedented  performance  of  the 
American  team  in  winning  all  its  matches,  thus  giving  it  a  clean  sweep 
for  the  series.  The  Australian  critics  were  most  generous  in  their  praise 
of  the  performance  of  the  American  players.     The  scores  follow: 

Tilden  defeated  Norman  E.  Brookes,  10-8,  6-4,  1-6,  6-4. 
Johnston  defeated  Gerald  L.  Patterson,  6-3,  6-1,  6-1. 
Tilden-Johnston  defeated  Brookes-Patterson,  4-6,  6-4,  6-0,  6-4. 
Johnston  defeated  Brookes,  6-8,  7-5,  6-3,  6-3. 
Tilden  defeated  Patterson,  5-7,  6-2,  6-3,  6-3. 

After  the  challenge  round  in  New  Zealand  the  team  played  some  exhi- 
bition matches  in  Australia  and  then  returned  to  the  United  States  in 
March,  1921.  They  were  formally  welcomed  at  a  large  dinner  in  New 
York  on  April  22,  when  Dwight  F.  Davis  and  Sir  Auckland  Geddes,  the 
British  Ambassador,  as  guests  of  honor,  voiced  the  congratulations  of 
the  tennis  public  upon  their  splendid  achievement.

THE    HONOR    ROLL 


The  annual  meeting  of  the  United  States  Lawn  Tennis 
Association  in  1919  decided  to  publish  an  "Honor  Roll" 
to  give  future  generations  some  record  of  the  part  taken 
in  the  Great  War  by  the  individuals  and  clubs  affiliated 
with  the  Association.  Acting  under  those  instructions,  an 
earnest  effort  has  been  made  through  the  Association's 
office  to  collect  and  tabulate  all  pertinent  information. 

Returns  have  been  received  from  about  half  the  Associa- 
tion's members,  and  in  view  of  the  disorganization  of  most 
club  activities  during  the  war,  this  response  is  considered 
satisfactory.  In  many  clubs  the  records  were  necessarily 
incomplete  during  1917  and  1918,  as  so  large  a  proportion 
of  their  personnel  was  in  war  service. 

The  following  roster  gives  the  information  as  forwarded 
by  the  clubs.  Every  effort  has  been  made  to  insure  its 
accuracy  and  although  it  is  necessarily  incomplete,  it  is 
the  best  available.  It  is  published  in  the  belief  that  it 
should  be  preserved  as  a  memorial  to  the  patriotism  and 
loyalty  of  the  tennis  players  of  the  United  States  who 
served  in  the  U.  S.  Army,  Navy,  Marine  Corps,  Allied 
Army  forces,  Red  Cross,  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  Knights  of  Columbus, 
and  other  organizations  of  mercy.

UNITED  STATES  LAWN   TENNIS  ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

A  COMPARATIVE  STUDY  OF  DIRECT  WAR  COSTS 
By  George  W.  Grupp 

Because  a  scandalously  misgoverned  monarchy  sought  self-aggrandize- 
ment, the  chariot  of  human  progress  met  with  a  terrible  accident  in 
August,  1914.  Before  this  accident  some  optimistic  prophets  traveling 
on  haranguing  tours  proclaimed  that  there  would  never  be  another  war 
because  no  country  could  long  stand  up  under  the  financial  strain  of 
modern  warfare.  These  prophets,  so-called,  failed  to  realize  that  people 
do  not  consider  cost  when  affronted  by  a  self-imagined  Jabberwock  who 
conspires  to  place  the  world  in  his  thraldom.  Once  they  begin  warfare, 
nations  that  are  fighting  for  a  cause  they  deem  just  never  stop  or 
look  backward  until  one  or  the  other  is  defeated.  A  country  once  in 
warfare  means  to  continue  as  long  as  its  industrial  and  agricultural 
forces  are  able  to  feed,  clothe,  and  supply  the  wants  of  those  in  the  battle- 
field and  those  at  home.  And  if  their  own  resources  are  not  sufficient, 
and  their  fighting  objective  is  a  justifiable  one,  then  they  will  continue 
as  long  as  their  supply  of  gold  lasts  and  their  credit  is  good  with 
neutrals. 

And  now  that  the  Great  War  is  over,  it  is  interesting  to  pause  for  a 
few  moments  to  note  the  direct  cost  of  the  war  to  the  various  belliger- 
ents. Moments  of  reflection  on  this  subject  are  not  to  be  scoffed  at  in 
the  spirit  of  indifference.  War  costs  affect  each  and  every  one  the 
world  around.  A  study  of  war  costs  serves  many  purposes.  Firstly, 
every  citizen  of  this  world  should  know  what  it  costs  to  go  to  war.  Sec- 
ondly, it  informs  those  who  have  waged  war  as  to  how  much  of  a  burden 
they  have  created  for  themselves.  Thirdly,  it  gives  them  an  idea  of  the 
burden  they  have  created  for  future  generations.  And  fourthly,  it  gives 
to  the  various  legislative  bodies,  in  the  different  countries,  an  idea  of 
the  amount  to  be  raised  by  taxation  and  loans. 

To  compare  the  direct  cost  to  the  various  belligerents  of  the  Great 
War,  by  examining  cold  figures  themselves,  requires  extraordinary 
ocular  powers — powers  beyond  the  reach  of  most  of  us.  For  this  reason 
a  graphic  chart  has  been  resorted  to,  in  addition  to  the  table. 

The  graphic  chart  is  so  self-explanatory  that  it  would  be  a  waste  of 
words  to  discuss  the  comparison  between  the  different  belligerents. 
However,  in  passing,  it  may  be  well  to  make  clear  that  the  figures  pre- 
sented were  obtained  from  Professor  Ernest  L.  Bogart's  very  valuable 
work  on  the  "Direct  and  Indirect  Cost  of  the  Great  World  War." 

The  direct  cost  of  the  Great  War  is  only  one  side  of  the  total  cost 
of  the  war.     The  indirect  cost  is  another  very  important  item  as  one 

214 


SUPPLEMENT 


I

UNITED  STATES  LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

will  gather  after  taking  into  account  that  by  indirect  cost  is  meant 
every  sort  of  material  loss  which  is  fairly  traceable  to  the  war,  such  as : 

Loss  of  income  to  the  community  whose  pursuits  were  disturbed. 

The  displacement  of  capital. 

The  destruction  of  valuable  lives. 

The  loss  of  capital  to  the  world  because  of  the  war. 

The  destruction  of  property  by  fires  and  other  causes. 

The  loss  of  securities. 

The  loss  of  articles  of  furniture  and  other  objects  carried  off  with  requisition. 

The  damage  done  to  roads,  factories,  etc. 

The  annual  loss  to  revenue  by  transfer  of  territory  to  the  victor. 

The  loss  of  revenue  due  to  the  interruption  of  business. 

The  loss  of  crops,  etc. 

The  loss  of  export  trade. 

The  individual's  loss  of  income. 

The  depreciation  of  property. 

The  depreciated  earning  power  of  wrecked  lives. 

Pensions  for  veterans,  widows,  etc. 

Physical  suffering. 

Increased  illness. 

Inflation  of  currency  and  increased  prices. 

Increased  death  rate. 

Checking  of  business  developments. 

Lowered  race  vitality. 

Production  diverted  from  productive  to  destructive  purposes. 

Decreased  birth  rate. 

Industry  crippled  by  division  of  men. 

Curtailed  education. 

Property  damage  due  to  idleness. 

Moral  degradation. 

Cargoes  sunk. 

Shipping  tonnage  losses^      _    „ 

I 

All^of  the  above  is  sufficient  to  show  that  no  human  could  possibly 
figure  all  of  the  indirect  losses  caused  by  the  Great  War  with  any  degree 
of  accuracy.  Therefore  the  writer,  in  this  article  confined  himself  ex- 
clusively to  direct  cost. 

The  direct  cost  of  the  Great  War  may  be  compared  with  the  previous 
wars,  other  than  graphically.  For  example,  the  Great  War  cost  ten 
times  as  much  as  all  the  wars  in  which  Great  Britain,  United  States, 
France,  Italy,  Kussia,  Belgium,  Koumania,  Germany,  Austria-Hungary, 
Turkey  and  Bulgaria  combined  have  been  engaged  in  between  the  years 
1688  and  1914.     In  fact,  in  a  single  year  the  expenditures  made  were 

216 


SUPPLEMENT 


equal  to  nearly  two  and  one-half  times  the  cost  of  all  wars  from  1688 
to  1914. 

Another  comparative  illustration  of  the  direct  cost  of  the  Great  War 
may  be  made  this  way.  Distribute  money  to  the  cost  of  the  Great  War 
amongst  all  the  people  on  the  face  of  the  earth,  and  each  would  receive 
$125.00. 

Distribute  the  money  spent  for  the  Great  War  amongst  the  people  of 
New  York  City  and  each  would  receive  $32,000.00 ;  or  amongst  the  people 
-of  the  United  States  and  each  would  receive  $1,826.00. 

Deposit  the  money  spent  for  the  Great  War  in  savings  banks,  at  the 
rate  of  3%,  and  it  will  yield  an  annual  revenue  of  $5,589,990,000.00. 

The  City  of  New  York  could  be  run  for  751  years  on  the  cost  of  the 
Great  War,  on  the  1919  budget  basis,  $248,000,000.00,  exclusive  of 
accumulative  interest  which  would  accrue  from  the  investment  of  the 
total  direct  cost  of  the  war.  In  fact,  the  annual  yield,  at  the  rate  of 
3%,  would  be  sufficient  to  run  nearly  23  cities  the  size  of  New  York. 

Suppose  a  railroad  can  be  built  for,  say,  $90,000.00  per  mile,  rolling 
stock  included,  then  2,070,000  miles  of  railway  lines  could  be  built  for 
the  direct  total  cost  of  the  Great  War.  This  mileage  is  nearly  four  times 
the  present  world  railway  mileage. 

The  direct  cost  of  the  Great  War  was  2.4  times  the  annual  national 
pre-war  income  of  the  British  Empire,  United  States,  France,  Russia, 
Italy,  Belgium,  Serbia  and  Roumania  combined,  ($75,000,000,000.00)  ; 
and  twice  the  pre-war  national  income  when  one  includes  Germany, 
Austria-Hungary,  Turkey  and  Bulgaria. 

The  direct  cost  of  the  Great  War  is  1.3  times  the  pre-war  national 
wealth  of  Germany,  Austria-Hungary,  Turkey  and  Bulgaria  combined, 
($142,500,000,000.00)  ;  and  it  is  about  one- third  the  pre-war  national 
wealth  when  one  includes  Great  Britain,  United  States,  France,  Italy, 
Russia,  Belgium  and  Roumania. 

Divide  the  direct  cost  of  the  Great  War  by  4.2  and  19  and  you  have 
the  pre-war  national  debt  of  the  world,  and  the  pre-war  world's  annual 
revenue. 

Make  a  chain  of  one  dollar  bills,  to  the  amount  of  the  direct  cost  of 
the  Great  War,  and  you  will  find  that  the  earth  can  be  circled  over  85 
times.

WAR  CYCLOPAEDIA. 

Compiled  from  data  published  by  the  Committee  of  Public  Information,  and  other  sources. 

Adjutant  General — An  officer,  who  under  the  direction  of  the  Secretary  of 
War  and  the  Chief  of  Staff,  is  held  responsible  for  the  keeping  of  the  records,  corres*- 
pondence  and  orders  of  the  Army.  Acting  as  secretary  to  the  Secretary  of  War  he  is 
also  obliged  to  keep  the  archives  of  that  department. 

Aisne — A  river  of  France  which  flows  to  the  Oise.  The  only  town  of  importance 
situated  upon  it  is  Soissons.  In  September,  1914,  the  German  army  took  upi  a  position 
on  its  north  bank  after  their  retreat  from  the  Marne.  Again  in  August,  1918,  the 
Germans  under  the  command  of  the  Crown'  Prince  in  flight  before  the  French  and 
Americans  again  occupied  the  territory  on  the  north  bank. 

Albania — Proclaimed  an  independent  country  under  Italy's  protection  June  3, 
1917.  Formerly  a  province  of  Turkey  and  also  declared  a  free  state  after  Balkan  Wars. 
Overrun  as  far  south  as  Avlona  in  January,  1916,  by  German,  Austrian  and  Bulgar- 
ian troops.     Southern  part  occupied  by  Italians. 

Allies — A  pact  made  in  London,  September  5,  1917,  which  bound  Great  Britain, 
Prance  and  Russia  against  making  separate  peace  with  the  enemy.  The  alliance  was 
later  joined  by  Japan  and  Italy. 

Alsace-Lorraine — A  territory  formerly  within  the  power  of  the  Holy  Roman  Em- 
pire. Alsace  joined  to  France  during  reign  of  Louis  XIV  and  Lorraine  acquired  dur- 
ing Louis  XV's  time.  The  population  of  both  in  1910  was  1,874,014  and  covers  an 
area  of  5,604  square  miles.  It  is  bounded  on  the  north  by  Luxemburg,  on  the  east  by 
the  Rhine,  on  the  south  by  Switzerland  and  on  the  west  by  Vosges  Mountains.  They 
were  made  provinces  of  Germany  after  the  Franco-Prussian  war  and  an  attempt  was 
made  by  that  country  to  Germanize  the  population.  This  was  done  by  bringing  in 
settlers  and  discouraging  the  use  of  French  as  a  language.  They  were  granted  a  con- 
stitution by  Germany  in  1911. 

Ambulance  Companies — A  company  consisting  of  five  officers,  eighty-six  men 
and  such  others  as  may  be  designated  by  Secretary  of  War,  all  of  whom  are  enrolled 
in  the  service  of  the  Red  Cross  Ambulance  Company  but  agreeing  to  serve  in  the  Med- 
ical Department  of  the  Army.  They  were  used  as  supplementary  branches  of  the 
army  in  the  transportation  of  wounded  and  sick  to  hospitals  from  the  field  of  battle 
or  from  hospital  to  hospital  as  the  case  may  have  demanded.  They  could  be  attached 
to  ambulance  trains,  hospital  trains,  ships  or  any  mode  of  conveyance  for  the  sick  and 
wounded. 

American  Ambulance  Corps — Originated  with  a  volunteer  motor  corps  at  the 
American  Hospital  at  Neuilly,  near  Paris.  It  continued  to  grow  until  given  a  definite 
place  in  the  French  Army.  The  personnel  for  the  most  part  was  comprised  of 
American  college  men  who  agreed  to  serve  not  less  than  six  months.  They  aided  in 
the  transportation  of  wounded  soldiers  from  the  battle  fronts. 

256 


SUPPLEMENT 


American  Ambulance  Hospital— Originated  with  a  band  of  residents  of  the 
American  colony  in  Paris  at  the  beginning  of  the  war.  They  established  headquarters 
in  Neuilly,  near  Paris.  Became  Military  Hospital  No.  1,  July,  1917,  when  it  was 
turned  over  to  the  Medical  Corps  of  the  U.  S.  A. 

Anglo- Japanese  Alliance — It  was  because  of  a  treaty  concluded  with  Great 
Britain  in  1902  that  Japan  entered  the  war.  The  Russo-Japanese  war  followed  the 
original  coalition.  The  alliance  was  extended  in  1905,  and  in  return  for  the  free 
hand  given  to  Japan  in  Korea,  provision  was  made  for  the  protection  of  English  in- 
terests in  India  and  Afghanistan. 

Anti-Aircraft  Guns — They  are  of  different  type  and  sizes  and  range  from  light 
machine  guns  to  the  heavier  three  and  six  inch  ones.  They  were  used  mostly  for  de- 
fense of  towns  and  bases  against  aircraft.  Both  the  Allies  and  Germans  used  guns 
that  were  able  to  bring  down  planes  from  heights  of  10,000  to  12,000  feet. 

Antwerp — Located  on  the  Scheldt  River,  it  is  one  of  the  principal  cities  of  Belgium. 
It  became  the  defense  center  for  the  Belgian  Army  after  the  fall  of  Brussels.  The 
Germans  first  fired  upon  it  September  28,  1914.  The  Belgians  held  out  until  Octo- 
ber 5  and  then  began  to  withdraw.    The  Germans  entered  October  9,  1914. 

Army  Corps — An  army  unit  is  composed  of  two  or  more  corps.  It  is  the  largest 
army  unit,  both  tactical  and  administrative — appropriately  commanded  by  a  lieuten- 
ant general.  An  army  corps  in  the  United  States  Army  is  formed  by  uniting  two  or 
more  divisions.  This  is  done  when  the  President  deems  such  action  necessary. 
An  army  corps  consists  of  the  following:  corps  headquarters,  six  complete 
divisions,  and  special  corps  troops,  including  one  pioneer  regiment  of  infantry,  two 
regiments  of  cavalry,  one  anti-aircraft  machine  gun  battalion,  signal  corps,  one  tele- 
graph battalion,  one  anti-aircraft  artillery  battalion,  one  trench  mortar  battalion,  one 
field  battalion,  one  aero  wing,  one  regiment  of  engineers,  one  pontoon  train,  one  corps 
artillery  park,  one  remount  depot,  one  veterinary  hospital,  one  bakery  company,  one  sup- 
ply train,  and  one  troop  transport  train.  There  may  also  be  one  artillery  brigade,  one 
sanitary  train,  and  one  corps  engineer  park  may  be  formed  from  detachments  from 
the  divisional  organizations.  The  average  strength  of  an  army  corps  is  about  i 85,000 
officers  and  men. 

Army  Organization — The  United  States  Army  organization  consists  of  a  regu- 
lar army  and  National  Guard.  In  both  the  principal  branches  of  service  are: — artil- 
lery, aviation,  cavalry,  engineers,  infantry,  medical,  ordnance,  quartermaster  and  signal 
corps. 

Artillery — This  branch  of  the  service  under  the  National  Defense  Act  of  1916 
included  a  personnel  of  30,000  officers  and  men.  The  importance  of  artillery  greatly 
increased  during  the  World  War.  This  was  due  to  the  added  manufacturing  re- 
sources of  the  countries  at  war.  They  were  all  better  able  to  produce  larger  amounts 
of  ammunition  and  of  a  heavier  type.  The  introduction  of  aeroplanes  into  the  late 
war  also  played  an  important  part  in  the  development  of  the  artillery.  Heretofore  it 
was  impossible  to  aim  a  big  gun  accurately  at  an  enemy  point,  but  with  the  aid  of 
the  airmen  it  was  comparatively  easy.  This  branch  of  the  service  is  divided  into 
field  artillery  and  coast  artillery.  The  former  is  subdivided  into  light,  heavy,  horse 
and  mountain  artillery.

UNITED   STATES  LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

Aviation — A  branch  of  military  service  which  was  largely  developed  during  the 
World  War.  At  the  outbreak  of  the  war  it  was  said  that  the  combined  air  squadrons 
of  the  British  and  the  French  totaled  1,700  machines.  This  was  increased  to  20,000 
machines  with  a  personnel  of  over  200,000  before  the  end  of  the  war.  The  U.  S. 
Army  at  the  beginning  of  the  war  had  but  75  officers  in  the  Air  service  with  no  train- 
ing planes  to  speak  of  and  very  few  service  planes.  On  Armistice  day  there  were  11,- 
425  officers,  5,300  training  planes  and  7,889  service  planes. 

Barbed-Wire  Entanglements — Network  of  wire  with  sharp  protruding  points 
arranged  along  the  ground  in  almost  impassable  manner.  Oftimes  the  wire  was  elec- 
trically charged. 

Barrage — A  curtain  of  projectiles  fired  by  the  artillery  at  a  given  point  in  front  of 
the  enemy  to  protect  the  advance  of  the  infantry. 

Battalion — A  military  organization  generally  consisting  of  four  companies  in  the 
engineers,  signal  corps,  and  infantry,  and  two  or  more  batteries  in  the  field  artillery. 
A  complete  infantry  battalion  in  the  United  States  Army  includes  26  officers  and  1,- 
000  men ;  a  machine  gun  battalion  of  four  companies,  twenty-six  officers  and  728  men ; 
of  a  battalion  of  light  artillery,  17  officers  and  579  men;, of  heavy  field  artillery,  12 
officers  and  456  men;  of  an  engineer  battalion,  20  officers  and  753  men;  and  of  a  field 
signal  battalion,  14  officers  and  248  men;  and  a  trench  mortar  battalion  includes  17 
officers  and  747  men. 

Battery — The  smallest  unit  of  a  field  artillery  battalion.  A  battery  of  light  ar- 
tillery (one  using  three-inch  guns)  has  five  officers  and  193  men;  a  battery  of  the  heavy 
artillery  (using  six-inch  guns)  has  5  officers  and  228  men. 

Belgrade — The  capital  city  of  Serbia  overlooking  the  Danube  River  at  the  Austro- 
Serbian  border.  Bombarded  by  the  Austrians  July  29,  1914,  which  the  Serbians  held 
until  December  of  that  year  when  they  evacuated  the  city.  The  Austrians  entered  the 
next  day.  The  city  was  retaken  by  the  Serbians  December  13,  1914.  On  October  9, 
1915,  it  again  fell  into  the  hands  of  the  Austrians. 

Bessarabia — A  former  province  of  Russia  and  at  one  time  known  as  Wallachia. 
Joined  Rumania  in  1918  following  the  Peace  of  Bucharest.  On  the  south  it  is  bounded 
by  the  Danube  River,  on  the  west  by  the  River  Pruth  and  it  faces  the  Black  Sea.  It 
is  a  fertile  grain  country  with  an  area  of  17,143  miles  and  a  population  of  1,500,000. 
It  was  separated  from  Moldavia  in  1812  by  Turkey  and  given  to  Russia.  Moldavia 
and  Bessarabia  were  again  united  at  the  close  of  the  Crimean  war  and  then  in  1859 
the  modern  Wallachia  united  with  Moldavia,  forming  the  Kingdom  of  Rumania.  Rus- 
sia again  acquired  Bessarabia  in  1878  following  her  war  with  Turkey.  The  inhabi- 
tants are  mostly  Rumanians. 

"Boche" — A  name  used  generally  by  the  Allies  to  designate  the  German.  Though 
it  was  first  used  by  the  French  soldiers  its  real  origin  is  somewhat  obscure  and  largely 
disputed.  It  was  used  in  pre-war  davs  by  Parisian  printers  in  refering  to  their  Ger- 
man assistants.  It  is  said  that  before  the  Franco-Prussian  war  the  term  "ce  boche" 
was  used  in  the  sense  of  meaning  "that  chump"  and  there  are  dictionaries  of  French 
slang  that  give  the  term  "tete  de  boche"  with  the  English  meaning  of  "blockhead"  or 
"wooden-pate."  There  are  some  too,  who  claim  the  present  use  is  derived  from  the 
word  "caboche"  meaning  head. 

Bohemia — A  part  of  Austria  populated  mostly  by  Czechs.  It  covers  an  area  of  20,- 
065  square  miles  and  the  population  in  1910  was  given  as  6,769,548.  It  was  at  one 
time  an  independent  kingdom  but  was  taken  by  the  Hapsburgs  in  1526  and  a  move- 
ment to  form  an  independent  political  organization  in  1620  was  suppressed.

AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

Bolsheviki — A  political  party  of  Russia  that  was  formerly  the  radical  side  of  the 
Russian  Socialist  Democrat.  The  name  "Bolsheviki"  means  "belonging  to  the  major- 
ity." When  the  Socialist  Democratic  party  was  rent  asunder  in  1905  the  majority 
under  the  leadership  of  Nikolai  Lenine  called  themselves  the  Maximalists  or  Bolshe- 
viki.   The  moderates,  similarly  were  called  the  Minimalists  or  Mensheviki. 

Bosnia-Herzegovina — They,  were  originally  a  part  of  the  Turkish  Empire.  These 
provinces  were  put  under  Austrian  jurisdiction  by  the  Congress  of  Berlin  and  contrary 
to  the  provisions  of  that  congress  they  were  definitely  annexed  by  Austria  in  1908.  The 
population  of  the  two  provinces  total  about  2,000,000  and  they  cover  approximately  19,- 
700  square  miles.  Slavs  and  pro-Serbians  are  the  dominating  classes  of  the  people.  It 
was  following  the  assassination  of  Archduke  Francis  Ferdinand,  at  Sarajevo,  the  capi- 
tal of  Bosnia  that  Serbia  received  from  Austria-Hungary  the  ultimatum  which  resulted 
in  the  World  War. 

Brest-Litovsk  Peace  Conference — The  opening  session  of  this  conference  was 
held  December  22,  1917.  The  delegates  were:  Germany — Dr.  Richard  von  Kuhlmann, 
Foreign  Minister;  Herr  von  Rosenberg,  Baron  von  Hock,  General  Hoffrnan  and  Major 
Brinckmann.  Austria-Hungary — Count  Czernin,  Foreign  Minister,  Herr  von  Merey, 
Freiherr  von  Wisser,  Count  Collerda,  Count  Osaky,  Field  Marshal  von  Chisceries, 
Lieutenant  Polarny  and  Major  von  Gluise.  Bulgaria — Minister  Popoff,  Former  Sec- 
retary Cosseff,  Postmaster  General  Stoyanovich,  Col.  Gantjiff  and  Dr.  Anastasoff. 
Turkey — Former  Minister  of  Foreign  Affaire  Nesimy  Bey,  Ambassador  Hakki,  Under 
Foreign  Secretary  Hekmit  Bey  and  General  Zekki  Pasha.  Russia — Joffe  Kamineff, 
Bisenko  Pokrosky,  iKaraghan,  Lubinski,  Weltman  Pawlowich,  Admiral  Altvater,  Gen- 
eral Tumorrl,  Col.  Rokki,  Col.  Zeplett  and  Capt.  Lipsky.  Prince  Leopold  of  Bavaria 
greeted  the  delegates 

Fifteen  peace  requests  were  put  in  by  Russia.  They  included  the  evacuation  of  her 
land  by  enemy  troops;  no  indemnities;  and  the  restoration  of  Belgium  and  indemnity 
through  an  international  fund  for  damages.  After  three  days'  adjournment  the  confer- 
ence reopened  on  Christmas  Day,  1917.  The  Germans  put  in  counter  proposals,  which 
included  independence  for  Poland,  Courland,  Lithuania,  and  parts  of  Esthonia  and  Li- 
vonia and  with  a  European  commission  to  administer  the  mouth  of  the  Danube. 

A  rejection  of  the  German  counter  proposals  was  announced  on  January  2,  1918,  by 
the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Russian  Council  of  Workmen's  and  Soldiers'"  Dele- 
gates. They  also  demanded  that  the  conference  be  transfered  from  Brest-Litovsk  to 
Stockholm.  Germany  and  Austria  refused  to  grant  the  Russian  demands  both  as  to 
the  change  of  the  seat  of  the  conference  and  the  evacuation  of  troops  from  Russian  ter- 
ritory. Czernin  argued  that  in  moving  the  conference  to  Stockholm,  it  would  be  on 
neutral  land  and  would  give  a  chance  to  the  Allies  to  interfere.  The  Teutons  held 
forth  a  complaint  against  the  Bolshevists  for  using  the  Russian  wireless  to  spread  Social- 
ist propaganda  among  German  troops.  The  second  session  of  the  conference  was 
opened  January  10,  1918,  and  was  attended  by  Minister  Trotsky,  one  woman,  Mme. 
Bithenko ;  formerly  an  exile,  M.  Joffe ;  M.  Kameneff,  M.  Pokrovsky,  and  three  Coun- 
cillors. Representing  the  Central  Powers  were  Dr.  Kuhlmann,  Count  Czernin,  Tal- 
aat  Bey,  the  Turkish  Grand  Vizier,  and  the  Bulgarian  Foreign  Minister.  A  repre- 
sentation from  Ukrainia  demanded,  according  to  instructions  from  the  Rada  or  Parlia- 
ment of  that  country,  that  Ukrainia  be  granted  independent  peace  commissions  which 
had  been  agreed  to  by  the  Bolshevists  and  the  Central  Powers.

SUPPLEMENT 


The  conference  agreed  January  11,  1918,  to  extend  the  armistice  of  December  14, 
1917,  which  had  expired  January  12,  1918,  to  February  12,  1918.  On  that  day  an 
informal  recognition  of  Ukrainian  independence  was  announced  to  the  other  delegates 
by  the  Central  Powers.  The  conference  was  broken  off  January  14,  1918.  Between 
December  25,  1917,  and  January  14,  1918,  economic  conferences  between  commissions 
from  both  sides  had  been  held  at  Petrograd.  Before  the  resumption  of  the  formal 
conference  on  January  25,  1918,  the  Petrograd  Government  was  warned  by  the  Ukrain- 
ian Government  that  unless  a  peace  was  made  between  Russia  and  Germany  within 
24  hours  Ukrainia  would  make  a  separate  peace  with  Germany.  Petrograd  did  not 
agree  to  this.  The  conference  was  resumed  and  finally  a  peace  was  signed  February 
9  on  the  one  side  by  the  Ukrainian  Rada  and  on  the  other  by  Germany,  Austria-Hun- 
gary, Bulgaria  and  Turkey.  Peace  between  the  Russian  Bolsheviki  and  the  Central 
Powers  was  signed  March  3,  1918,  at  Brest- Litovsk  and  four  days  later  a  peace  was 
signed  between  Germany  and  Finland.  Negotiations  were  then  under  way  for  peace 
with  Rumania.  This  concluded  the  conference  of  Brest-Litovsk.  The  Rumanian 
treaty  with  the  Central  Powers  was  concluded  at  Bucharest  May  6,  1918. 

Brigade — A  brigade  is  an  unit  of  military  organization  which  may  be  composed  of 
infantry,  cavalry  or  artillery.  A  brigade  of  infantry  includes  brigade  headquarters, 
two  infantry  regiments  and  a  machine  gun  battalion  all  totaling  232  officers  and  8,210 
men.  Included  in  this  number  are  17  officers  and  202  men  who  are  noncombatants 
that  comprise  the  Medical  Corps  and  the  chaplain.  A  brigade  of  cavalry  includes 
headquarters  and  three  regiments  of  cavalrymen  with  an  approximate  strength  of  181 
officers  and  4,575  men.  A  brigade  of  field  artillery  consists  of  brigade  headquarters, 
two  regiments  of  artillery,  one  regiment  of  heavy  artillery  and  a  trench  mortar  bat- 
tery with  72  guns,  12  trench  mortars  and  the  necessary  supplies  for  active  service  and 
transportation.     The  strength  of  an  artillery  brigade  is  usually  185  officers  and  4,781 


Brussels — The  capital  city  of  Belgium  whose  population  in  1912  was  663,000. 
Before  their  precipitated  retreat,  the  Germans  had  used  this  city  as  the  center  of  their 
administration  for  Belgium.  The  city  was  evacuated  by  the  Belgian  Government  Au- 
gust 19,  1914,  and  the  Germans  occupied  it  the  next  day.  The  enemy  had  only  occu- 
pied the  city  one  day  when  they  levied  a  heavy  war  tax  upon  the  inhabitants. 

Bucharest — The  capital  of  Rumania.  Occupied  by  the  Germans  December  6, 
1916. 

Buffer  States — The  Central  Powers  began  the  work  of  setting  up  Buffer  States 
along  their  eastern  borders  during  the  early  days  of  the  war.  The  Poles  were  prom- 
ised independence.  An  Austrian  fund  was  formed  in  the  Ukraine  region  for  the  mere 
purpose  of  active  propagandizing.  Movements  of  the  same  nature  were  started  in 
Finland,  Courland,  Esthonia,  and  in  Lithuania.  Russia  competed  with  the  Germans 
in  giving  promises  of  independence  to  Finland,  and  Poland.  Kerensky  made  an  ef- 
fort to  keep  the  Ukraine  region  intact.  He  realized  the  importance  of  holding 
Ukraine  because  of  its  bordering  on  the  Black  Sea.  The  Bolshevists,  successors  to  Ker- 
ensky, competed  with  the  Central  Powers  in  granting  promises  of  independence  to 
Ukraine.  Finally  the  influence  of  Austria  in  Ukraine  prevailed  over  that  of  the  Bol- 
shevists and  Ukraine  as  a  result  was  the  first  to  sign  a  peace  treaty  with  the  Germans. 

Foreign  Secretary  von  Kuhlmann  admitted  that  it  was  Germany's  aim  to  set  up 
Buffer    States  on  her  east  when  addressing   the  Reichstag   in  February,  1918,    on  the 

261

AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

Russian  treaty.  He  said:  "It  contains  no  conditions  whatever  which  dishonor  Russia, 
no  mention  of  oppressive  war  indemnities,  no  forcible  appropriations  of  Russian  terri- 
tory. A  number  of  the  border  states  have  severed  their  connection  with  the  Russian 
State  in  accordance  with  their  own  will,  which  was  recognized  by  Russia.  In  regard 
to  these  states  we  adopt  the  standpoint  formerly  expressed  by  me,  that,  under  the 
mighty  protection  of  the  German  Empire  they  can  give  themselves  political  form  cor- 
responding with  their  situation  and  the  tendency  of  their  lcultur,  while  at  the  same 
time,  of  course,  we  are  safeguarding  our  own  interests." 

Bulgaria — One  of  the  Balkan  constitutional  monarchies  whose  borders  have  been 
altered  many  times  by  wars.  In  1913  it  was  said  to  cover  an  area  of  about  45,000 
square  miles  with  a  population,  at  that  time,  of  4,711,917.  Bulgaria  became  an  in- 
dependent monarchy,  when,  in  1908,  she  repudiated  some  restrictions  imposed  by  the 
Congress  of  Berlin.  Prince  Ferdinand  was  declared  Czar.  Bulgaria  became  an  ally 
of  the  Central  Powers  and  declared  war  on  Serbia  October  14,  1914. 

"Cadets" — The  name  given  to  the  Constitutional  Democratic  party  of  Russia  and 
derived  from  the  initials  of  the  party  name. 

Cambrai — An  old  town  of  Northern  France,  37  miles  south  and  a  little  to  the  east 
of  Lille  with  a  population  of  about  22,000.  The  ancient  breastworks  and  fortifica- 
tions of  the  city  had  been  torn  down  before  the  outbreak  of  the  World  War  but  the 
city  itself  retained  vast  military  importance  because  of  its  location.  Four  different 
railways  and  very  many  important  highways  converged  there.  After  the  Germans  had 
taken  it  they  made  it  a  distributing  point  for  the  Hindenburg  line  and  also  for  the  line 
along  the  Aisne.  It  was  a  valuable  link  in  the  chain  of  such  supply  stations  as  Laon, 
St.  Quentin,  Douai,  Lille — before  which  the  German  Army  took  up  a  stand  after  the 
retreat  from  the  Marne.  General  Byng  made  it  the  objective  of  the  drive  which  he 
began  November  20,  1917,  and  renewed  late,  in  the  summer  of  1918. 

Camouflage — A  French  word  developed  during  the  war  to  designate  a  new  and 
important  military  art, — that  of  painting  or  skilfully  covering  fortifications,  etc.,  from 
the  view  of  the  enemy. 

Cavalry — A  branch  of  military  service  with  mounted  troops  armed  with  rifles, 
pistols  and  broad  swords.  They  are  trained  to  fight  on  both  horseback  and  foot. 
Four  troops  form  a  squadron,  and  three  squadrons  with  headquarters,  supply  and  ma- 
chine gun  troops,  form  a  regiment.  Troops  are  commanded  by  captains;  squadrons 
by  majors  and  regiments  by  colonels. 

Caucasus — An  area  of  180,703  square  miles  bounded  by  the  Don  region  and 
Ukrainia,  Caspian  Sea,  the  Turkish-Persian  borders,  and  the  Black  Sea.  Its  popula- 
tion is  estimated  at  about  14,000,000.  It  is  made  up  of  two  geographical  divisions, 
known  as  Ciscaucasia  and  Transcaucasia.  Ciscaucasia  covers  96,672  square  miles  and 
has  a  population  of  7,000,000  of  which  90  per  cent,  are  Turko-Tartars,  Circassians 
and  other  Moslem  tribes.  Transcaucasia's  area  is  84,131  square  miles  and  the  popu- 
lation is  about  7,000,000.  Of  these  about  3,000,000  are  Georgians,  2,000,000  are 
Armenians,  350,000  refugees  from  Turkish  Armenia  and  the  balance  are  Turko-Tar- 
tars, Russians,  Jews,  etc. 

Cavell,  Edith,  Execution  of — An  English  war  nurse  who  was  charged  by  the 
Germans  with  having  aided  English  and  Belgian  young  men  to  make  their  escape  into 
Holland.  She  was  found  guilty  by  the  German  Military  Court,  and  executed  at 
Brussels  at  2  A.  M.,  October  13,  1915. 

Cettinje — The  capital  citv  of  Montenegro,  taken  by  the  Austrians  November  13, 
1915.

UNITED   STATES  LAWN   TENNIS   ASSOCIATION 
AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

Company — The  smallest  unit  in  artillery,  engineers,  infantry  and  signal  corps. 
There  are  special  units  designated  as  companies  in  the  quartermaster  corps  and  the 
medical  corps.  A  captain  is  the  commander  of  a  company.  Its  strength  is  determined 
according  to  the  different  arms  of  the  service. 

Congress  of  Berlin — Was  held  in  Berlin  in  1878,  with  Bismarck  presiding,  to  de- 
cide questions  which  arose  from  the  Russian  defeat  of  the  Turks  in  1877-78.  Russia 
aimed  to  build  a  strong  Slav  State,  Bulgaria,  out  of  land  taken  from  Turkey  and 
leave  that  country  with  little  holding  in  Europe  except  for  Constantinople.  Both 
England  and  Austria  opposed  the  idea.  England  feared  Russian  control  at  Constan- 
tinople, while  Austria  desired  Balkan  land  and  feared  a  strong  Russia.  The  plans  of 
Russia  for  Bulgaria  were  checkmated.  Austria  won  the  control  of  Bosnia  and  Her- 
zegovina. A  large  portion  of  the  land  intended  for  Bulgaria  was  returned  to  Tur- 
key. This  aided  in  the  breaking  up  of  the  friendship  between  Russia  and  Germany, 
and  to  the  Franco-Russian  alliance. 

Contraband — Goods  which  are  of  warlike  character.  There  are  two  classes  of 
contraband  goods,  namely,  absolute  and  conditional.  Absolute  contrabands  are  goods 
only  used  for  warlike  purposes.  Conditional  contrabands  are  goods  which  may  be 
used  for  peace  and  war  purposes. 

Courland,  Livonia,  And  Esthonia — Three  provinces  of  European  Russia, 
which  through  a  treaty  with  the  Central  Powers  with  Russia  were  declared  independ- 
ent states  by  the  Central  Powers  early  in  1918.  They  adjoin  each  other  in  the  north- 
western corner  of  Russia.  Courland  faces  the  Baltic  Sea;  Vivonia,  the  Gulf  of  Riga; 
and  Esthonia,  the  Gulf  of  Finland. 

Destroyers — Torpedo  craft  whose  displacement  varies  from  350  to  1,100  tons. 
As  the  name  implies  they  are  designed  for  the  destruction  of  torpedo  boats.  Their 
freeboard  and  speed  is  greater  than  torpedo  boats. 

Division — In  the  infantry  the  division  is  a  complete  unit  in  itself  as  it  has  infantry, 
cavalry,  engineers,  signal  and  quartermaster  corps  troops,  medical  and  sanitary  troops 
and  all  necessary  supplies,  material,  and  transportation,  with  the  headquarters  person- 
nel, all  of  which  provides  it  to  act  independent  of  any  other  unit  or  organization.  A 
major  general  is  commander.  In  the  United  States  Army  a  division  of  infantry  is 
composed  of  division  headquarters,  two  infantry  brigades,  each  of  two  regiments  of 
infantry  and  one  machine  gun  battalion,  one  field  artillery  brigade  (two  regiments  of 
light,  one  heavy  artillery,  and  one  trench  mortar  battery),  one  divisional  machine  gun 
battalion,  one  regiment  of  engineers,  one  field  signal  battalion,  headquarters  train, 
and  military  police,  and  engineer,  ammunition,  supply  and  sanitary  trains.  The  total 
strength  is  887  officers  and  26,265  men. 

Finland — One  of  the  first  acts  of  the  Russian  revolution  was  the  restoration  of 
autonomy  to  Finland  which  once  more  put  into  force  the  old  Grand  Duchy  Constitu- 
tion that  had  been  granted  to  the  Finns  by  Czar  Alexander  II  of  Russia  in  1863.  Fin- 
land's population  in  1916  was  3,000,000  and  it  covered  an  area  at  that  time  of  144,- 
000  square  miles.  Helsingfors,  the  capital,  is  a  seaport  on  the  Gulf  of  Finland  and 
has  a  population  of  93,000. 

Finnish  Republic — On  March  21,  1917,  the  Revolutionary  Russian  Provisional 
Government  declared  the  Russian  Grand  Duchy  of  Finland  a  free  and  independent 
state  in  a  Russian  federation.     Under  the  proclamation  the  laws  contrary  to  the   old 

264 


SUPPLEMENT 


Finnish  constitution  were  revoked,  all  Finns  who  had  been  exiled  or  imprisoned  for 
religious  or  political  offenses  were  freed  and  there  was  promised  the  establishment  of 
a  Diet  or  local  legislature  and  independent  government. 

After  a  reluctant  submission  to  the  authority  of  the  Provisional  Government  the 
Diet  finally  passed  a  bill  giving  Finland  a  government  independent  of  that  of  Russia, 
July  19,  1917.  An  order  was  issued  August  3,  1917,  by  the  Russian  Provisional  Gov- 
ernment which  provided  for  the  dissolution  of  the  Diet  and  summoned  a  new  one  for 
November  1,  1917.  This  had  been  in  session  but  a  few  days  when  the  Kerensky  Gov- 
ernment in  Russia  was  overthrown  by  the  Bolshevists  under  Lenine.  This  body 
through  the  Government  of  the  Soviets,  declared  the  right  of  the  Russian  peoples  to 
secede,  without  awaiting  the  decision  of  the  Constituent  Assembly.  Various  nationali- 
ties of  Russia  received  the  right  to  freedom  and  self-determination  in  a  manifesto  that 
was  issued  by  the  People's  Commissaries,  the  Bolshevist  Ministers,  November  23,  1917. 
The  manifesto  stated  that  "this  right  of  the  Russian  peoples  to  their  self-determination 
is  to  be  extended  even  as  far  as  separation  and  the  forming  of  independent  states." 

Accordingly  Finland  declared  its  independence,  December  5,  1917.  The  independ- 
ence was  formally  recognized  by  Sweden,  France,  Norway,  Denmark  and  Germany. 
The  Central  Executive  Committee  of  the  Soviets,  in  behalf  of  the  Russian  Provisional 
Government  on  January  9,  1918,  recognized  Finland  as  free  and  independent.  The 
Socialist  strike  riots  and  civil  war  followed  closely.  The  "Red  Guards"  who  were 
the  Bolsheviki  set  up  a  government  headquarters  at  Viborg  and  the  "White  Guards," 
the  pro-German  element,  set  up  a  rival  government  at  Vasa.  Having  invaded  the 
country  and  occupied  the  Aland  Islands  Germany  signed  a  peace  treaty  with  Finland 
on  March  7,  1918.  Later  the  Germans  participated  in  the  civil  war.  They  occupied 
Helsingfors,  April  13,  1918,  and  Viborg  April  30,  1918. 

France — The  first  Republic  of  France  was  established  in  1792  but  because  of  the 
counteracting  forces  of  the  age  it  was  unable  to  continue  and  reverted  to  an  empire 
under  Napoleon.  Through  the  revolution  brought  on  during  the  establishment  of  the 
first  republic,  France  gave  to  Europe  the  Declaration  of  the  Rights  of  Man.  The  pre- 
sent republic  was  set  up  September  4,  1870.  The  present  government  consists  of  a 
senate  and  chamber  of  deputies,  all  elective  offices;  and  the  president,who  is  chosen  for 
seven  years  by  a  sitting  of  the  joint  houses.  President  Poincare  who  was  elected  in 
1913,  served  his  term  of  office  during  the  entire  period  of  the  war.  In  the  spring  of 
1920  M.  Paul  Deschanel  was  elected  to  the  presidency. 

Fryatt,  Capt.,  Execution  of — While  in  command  of  the  British  steamship  "Brus- 
sels," Captain  Fryatt  is  said  to  have  attempted  to  ram  German  submarine  U-33  March 
20,  1915.  He  was  captured  with  his  ship  June  23,  1916.  On  July  27,  1916,  he  was 
court-martialed  and  shot. 

Freedom  of  the  Seas — The  idea  of  "Freedom  of  the  Seas"  is  said  to  have  origin- 
ated with  Grotius  in  his  Mare  Liberum,  "The  Air,  Running  Water,  the  Sea — are 
common  to  all" — Selden  in  his  Mare  Clausum  denied  such  freedom.  The  Grotius-Sel- 
den  discussion  ended  in  the  commonly  accepted  opinion  that  the  jurisdiction  of  a  coun- 
try extends  within  three  miles  of  its  shore  line.  The  doctrine  that  "free  ships  make 
free  goods"  was  developed  in  the  18th  century  asji  result  of  the  continental  antagonism 
to  the  sea  power  of  the  British.  The  armed  neutralities  of  1780  and  1800  backed  this 
doctrine.  The  Declaration  of  Paris,  1856,  largely  incorporated  this  doctrine  into  in- 
ternational law;  it  also  abolished  privateering.  The  United  States  has  championed 
the  meaning  of  the  "freedom  of  the  seas"  to  the  effect  that  private  property  should  be

immune  from  capture  on  the  high  seas  in  time  of  war  unless  it  was  contraband  goods 
intended  for  a  blockaded  port. 

Gallipoli — The  strategic  key  of  the  Dardanelles.  The  Allied  forces  were  landed 
tliere  with  heavy  losses  in  April,  1915,  after  the  failure  of  a  naval  effort,  in  an  attempt 
to  force  the  straits.  In  January,  1916,  the  campaign  to  force  the  straits  was  aban- 
doned. 

Gas  Warfare: — Poisonous  gases  were  introduced  by  the  Germans  at  Ypres  on  April 
22,  1915.  These  deadly  gases  are  released  in  the  opponents'  lines  by  means  of  bombs, 
grenades  and  other  apparatus. 

German  Colonies — Before  the  war  Germany's  colonies  total  an  area  of  over  1,- 
000,000  square  miles.  Included  among  them  were  German  East  Africa  with  a  popu- 
lation of  6,850,000  and  400,000  square  miles;  German  South  West  Africa  with  a

recognizes  that  Japan  has  special  interests  in  China,  particularly  in  the  part  to  which 
her  possessions  are  contiguous.  The  territorial  sovereignty  of  China,  nevertheless  re- 
mains unimpaired,  and  the  Government  of  the  United  States  has  every  confidence  in 
the  repeated  assurances  of  the  Japanese  Government  that  while  geographical  position 
gives  Japan  such  special  interests,  they  have  no  desire  to  discriminate  against  the  trade 
of  other  nations.  .  .  .  Moreover,  they  mutually  declare  that  they  are  opposed  to 
the  acquisition  by  any  government  of  any  special  rights  or  privileges  that  would  af- 
fect the  independence  or  territorial  integrity  of  China,  or  that  would  deny  to  the  sub- 
jects or  citizens  of  any  country  the  full  enjoyment  of  equal  opportunities  in  the  com- 
merce and  industries  of  China."

tempted a  revolt  on  his  return  to  Poland  in  1794.  He  was  captured  by  Russia  and 
later  freed. by  Emperor  Paul  in  1796.  Kosciusko  died  in  Switzerland  in  1817  at  the 
age  of  81.  In  1831  another  rebellion  in  Poland  was  quelled;  and  in  1832  the  King-

The  conditions  of  this  loan  are  specially  defined.  (6)  Deposits  in  the  state  savings 
banks  and  the  interest  upon  them  are  not  to  be  touched.  All  holdings  in  the  cancelled 
loans  belonging  to  these  banks  will  be  replaced  by  debt  entered  to  their  credit  in  the 
Great  Book  of  the  Russian  Socialist  Republic.  (7)  Co-operative  and  other  institu- 
tions of  general  or  democratic  utility,  and  possessing  holdings  in  the  cancelled  loans,

preme Council  of  Political  Economy,  in  agreement  with  their  representatives,  if  it  is 
proved  that  the  holdings  were  acquired  before  the  publication  of  the  present  decree. 
(8)  The  state  bank  is  charged  with  the  complete  liquidation  of  loans  and  the  imme- 
diate registration  of  all  holders  of  bonds  in  the  state  loans  and  other  funds,  whether 
annulled  or  not.  (9)  The  Soviet  of  the  Workmen's,  Soldiers'  and  Peasants'  Depu- 
ties, in  accord  with  the  local  economic  councils,  will  form  committees  for  the  purpose 
of  deciding  whether  a  citizen  is  to  be  classed  as  'indigent.'  These  committees  will 
be  competent  to  cancel  entirely  all  savings  acquired  without  working  for  them,  even  in 
the  case  of  sums  below  5,000  rubles." 

The  Bolshevist  Government  issued  a  decree  February  7,  1918,  which  ordered  the 
adoption  of  the  Gregorian  or  "new  style"  calendar,  as  from  Thursday,  February  14,

4,  1914,  over  Germany's  violation  of  Belgium's  neutrality.  The  German  Chancellor 
said :  "The  step  taken  by  His  Majesty's  Government  was  terrible  to  a  degree ;  just  for 
a  word — neutrality,  a  word  which  in  war  time  had  so  often  been  disregarded — just 
for  a  scrap  of  paper  Great  Britain  was  going  to  make  war,  on  a  kindred  nation  who 
desired  nothing  better  than  to  be  friends  with  her." 

Selective  Service — A  law  enacted  by  Congress  which  compelled  all  men  of  mili-

The  first  selective  service  law  was  passed  May  18,  1917.  This  law  only  applied  to 
men  between  the  ages  of  21  and  30,  inclusive.  An  amendment  to  the  law  called  for 
the  registration  of  all  men  between  the  ages  of  18  and  45  inclusive.  The  first  registra- 
tion, June  5,  1917,  brought  out  10,000,000  men;  while  the  second,  September  12,  1918, 
brought  out  an  additional  13,000,000  men.  The  working  of  the  entire  system  was 
in  the  hands  of  the  War  Department  under  the  supervision  of  the  President.  The 
first  men  to  be  drafted  into  the  service  was  on  September  5,  1917. 

Service  Reserve — The  United  States  Public  Service  Reserve  was  a  government 
organization  of  men  who  wanted  to  find  the  place  for  which  they  were  best  fitted  for 
service  to  the  country  during  the  war  should  the  government  need  their  services. 

Shells — Explosive  projectiles.  Some  shells  are  loaded  with  destructive  chemicals 
or  gas.    During  the  World  War  shells  weighing  as  much  as  2,000  pounds  were  used. 

Signal  Corps — More  commonly  called  the  "eyes  and  ears  of  the  army."  It  is  that 
branch  of  the  military  that  attends  to  the  construction  of  cables,  telegraphs  and  tele- 
phones, etc.,  and  keeps  in  communication  with  the  fighting  units. 

Sinn  Fein — A  revolutionary  class  of  Ireland  whose  ambition  is  the  freedom  and 
cultural  development  of  the  Irish  race.  After  an  outbreak  in  Dublin,  Easter,  1916,  Ger- 
many endeavored  to  lend  cooperation.  Following  this  outbreak  Sir  Roger  Casement 
was  arrested,  tried,  convicted  and  executed.  A  number  of  other  outbreaks  have  oc- 
curred since  then. 

Staff — The  administrative  branch,  as  distinguished  from  the  fighting  arm  of  the 
army.  It  includes  the  general  staff,  military  men  with  the  inspector  general's,  the 
quarter-master  general's,  the  judge  advocate  general's,  the  adjutant  general's,  the  ord- 
nance, the  engineering,  the  signal  corps,  the  medical  and  other  departments  of  the 
army. 

Submarine — Commonly  called  U  boat  by  the  Germans  and  the  name  became  gen- 
eral among  the  Allies.  It  is  a  vessel  of  war  that  is  so  constructed  that  it  will  travel 
either  upon  or  beneath  the  surface  of  the  water.  The  submarine  is  the  result  of  two 
American  inventors'  genius,  John  P.  Holland  and  Simon  Lake. 

Superdreadnought — A  dreadnought  whose  displacement  is  25,000  tons  or  more; 
whose  speed  is  25  knots  and  whose  main  battery  includes  guns  of  13.5  inches  or  more. 


Tanks — A  class  of  motor  cars  heavily  constructed  and  armed  and  propelled  by  a 
"caterpillar  drive."  They  are  used  mainly  in  breaking  down  enemy  defenses.  The 
British  were  the  first  to  use  the  Tanks. 

Terrain — A  French  word  meaning  ground  on  which  the  military  operations  are 
conducted.

AND  THE  WORLD  WAR 

"Tommy" — The  British  name  for  a  private. 

Torpedo  Boats — Small  naval  b_Qats  whose  displacement  varies  from  50  to  300  tons 
and  built  so  that  they  can  develop  high  speed.  They  are  seldom  armed  with  more 
than  light  guns  and  the  torpedo  tube  through  which  the  torpedo  is  shot.  Their  speed 
is  usually  from  19  to  20  knots  an  hour. 

Treason — Article  III,  Section  3  of  the  Constitution  of  the  U.  S.  reads:  "Treason 
against  the  United  States  shall  consist  only  in  levying  war  against  them,  or  in  adher- 
ing to  their  enemies,  giving  them  aid  and  comfort.  No  person  shall  be  convicted  of 
treason  unless  on  the  testimony  of  two  witnesses  to  the  same  overt  act,  or  on  confes- 
sion in  open  court."  "Giving  comfort  and  aid  to  the  enemies  of  the  United  States" 
has  been  thus  defined:  "In  general,  any  act  clearly  indicating  a  want  of  loyalty  to  the 
government  and  sympathy  with  its  enemies,  and  which,  by  fair  construction  is  directly 
in  furtherance  of  their  hostile  designs."  The  punishment  for  treason  is  death,  or  im- 
prisonment for  five  or  more  years  and  a  fine  of  $10,000  or  more. 

Trench  Warfare — Trench  digging  and  the  building  of  breastworks  as  protec- 
tion against  the  enemy's  fire  have  been  practiced  by  armies  before  the  World  War. 
The  battles  of  the  World  War  were  fought  mainly  across  trenches  and  hence  the 
term  "Trench  warfare."  The  soldier  of  today  found  that  the  spade  had  become  one 
of  his  best  possible  weapons  of  defense. 

Triple  Alliance — A  treaty  signed  in  1882  by  Germany,  Austria  and  Italy,  the 
full  text  of  which  has  never  been  revealed  but  which  is  thought  to  have  been  intended 
for  their  mutual  defense.  Germany  claimed  in  1914  that  she  was  bound  by  the  treaty 
to  defend  Austria  from  the  Russian  attack.  Oh  the  other  hand  Italy  claimed  that 
Austria  was  the  one  who  attacked  and  that  Italy's  own  safety  was  endangered  by  Aus- 
tria's designs  in  the  Balkans.  Italy  refused  to  fight  with  the  Triple  Alliance  and  later 
entered  the  war  against  her  two  former  allies. 

Triple  Entente — A  diplomatic  union  of  France,  Great  Britain  and  Russia  as  op- 
posed to  the  Triple  Alliance.  The  first  link  of  the  Entente  was  formed  when  in  1893 
an  agreement  was  reached  between  Russia  and  France;  the  second  came  in  1903  when 
there  was  an  understanding  between  England  and  France;  and  in  1907  the  chain  was 
completed  when  England  formed  an  entente  with  Russia. 

Verdun — Since  1871  this  was  the  most  important  defense  of  France  along  the 
eastern  border  from  the  Argonne  to  the  Vosges.  Because  of  the  heavy  losses  sus- 
tained by  the  German  armies  in  their  attempts  to  take  Verdun  during  the  World  War 
it  became  known  to  the  German  soldiers  as  "the  grave."  Though  the  Germans  were 
able  to  penetrate  and  make  a  deep  salient  to  the  south  of  the  city  at  St.  Mihiel  the  city 
held  out  during  the  advance  of  1914.  Later  in  February,  1916,  the  German  Army  un- 
der the  direction  of  the  Crown  Prince  directed  a  terrific  assault  upon  the  city,  which 
lasted  six  months.  They  captured  Forts  Douaumont  and  Vaux.  In  October,  1916, 
and  August,  1917,  the  French  under  General  Nivelle  reclaimed  the  ground  they  had 
lost  in  1916. 

Zeppelin — This  was  the  heavier  type  sausage  shaped  dirigible  balloon  used  by  the 
Germans  for  observation  purposes  at  sea  and  for  bombing  raids  in  enemy  country.  It 
is  named  after  its  inventor,  Count  Ferdinand  von  Zeppelin.
